Painting Project

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is requesting proposals for preparation and painting services at the Dayton Station light rail facility located at 4151 S. Dallas Street, Aurora, Colorado, with proposals due August 28, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. This is Phase 2 of the project; Phase 1 was completed in fall 2025.

RTD encourages but does not mandate SBE participation through subcontracting, mentoring, or joint ventures; no specific participation goal is stated. The scope comprises painting and preparation services at a single light rail station. The contract will be fixed-price with a four-month performance period from notice to proceed and no option periods.

RTD will evaluate proposals using best-value scoring: cost (50 points), proposed approach including scheduling and sequencing (20 points), past relevant experience with three references (20 points), and staff qualification (10 points). Technical proposals are capped at 30 pages. Required submissions include technical and cost proposals, organizational conflict of interest certifications, W-9 forms, and key personnel documentation. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the RTD online procurement portal and remain valid for a minimum of 90 days from the due date.

A non-mandatory pre-proposal briefing is scheduled for August 6, 2026 at 12:30 p.m. at the project site. The inquiry period closes August 12, 2026, with RTD responses due by August 19, 2026. Oral presentations, if necessary, are scheduled for the week of September 14, 2026, with anticipated final selection by September 28, 2026. RTD reserves the right to reject all offers and cancel the RFP if deemed in its best interest. All submitted materials become RTD property and will not be returned.
