Plumbing Subcontractor-Colorado Springs

The Energy Resource Center (ERC), a tax-exempt non-profit organization serving multiple Colorado counties, is seeking a qualified plumbing subcontractor for the Colorado Energy Office Weatherization Program. This procurement is specifically for plumbing repair and installation services to be performed from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with work ranging from minor repairs like replacing faucet washers to major installations such as water heater replacements in residential settings. All work must be completed by a licensed plumber and will be assigned on a job-by-job basis across counties including El Paso, Elbert, Fremont, Douglas, Cheyenne, Lincoln, Kit Carson, and Teller. The proposal submission deadline is May 23, 2025, with electronic submissions required through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. Evaluation criteria will prioritize quality of work (50%), overall prices (20%), and ability to meet production quotas (10%), with the ERC reserving the right to select the most advantageous bidder based on comprehensive factors.

The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Subcontractors must meet several minimum requirements, including providing comprehensive work experience and references, maintaining specified liability and workers' compensation insurance, and agreeing to lien waivers. Vendors must cover the entire specified service area, maintain valid professional licenses, and comply with production standards. While no specific budget range is detailed, payments will be processed within 30 days of final inspection based on itemized invoices, with negotiated prices remaining firm for the entire program year. Bidders must also acknowledge they are not debarred under System for Award Management (SAM) guidelines, though meeting participation requirements is not mandatory for bid submission. The competitive negotiation process will ultimately select a subcontractor based on technical capabilities, pricing, and demonstrated ability to successfully execute the weatherization program's plumbing service needs.
