The Energy Resource Center (ERC), a tax-exempt non-profit organization serving Colorado, is seeking competitive bids from licensed plumbing contractors to provide repair and installation services for the Colorado Energy Office Weatherization Program. The procurement targets services across Morgan, Washington, Logan, Sedgwick, Phillips, and Yuma counties, with work focused on residential properties, particularly older homes. Specific services include minor repairs like replacing faucet washers, major jobs such as water heater replacement, and comprehensive plumbing interventions. Contractors must complete all work within five working days of receiving a work order and demonstrate capability to handle various residential plumbing needs. The evaluation criteria will be weighted, with work quality receiving 50% importance, overall pricing at 20%, and production capabilities at 10%, with additional considerations for communication and flexibility. The proposal submission deadline is May 24, 2024, with electronic submissions required through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. Potential subcontractors must meet comprehensive requirements, including mandatory liability insurance, workmen's compensation, and automobile insurance with specific coverage limits.

The contract is not exclusive, and ERC reserves the right to reject any proposals that do not meet their standards. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, contractors must comply with Colorado Energy Office program standards and provide detailed invoicing. Successful vendors will be required to offer a one-year warranty on materials and workmanship and agree to fixed pricing for the entire program year from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024. The procurement covers Lincoln County and surrounding areas, with a focus on residential weatherization services. Although specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests a competitive bidding process where cost-effectiveness and service quality will be primary considerations. The contract appears designed to establish a pool of qualified plumbing subcontractors who can quickly and efficiently respond to residential repair needs within the specified geographic region. Interested contractors should carefully review the full Request for Proposal document to understand the complete scope of requirements and expectations.
