Plumbing Subcontractors - Alamosa

The State of Colorado, specifically Alamosa County, is seeking plumbing subcontractors through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Energy Resource Center (ERC) for the Colorado Energy Office Weatherization Program. The procurement opportunity covers plumbing services for low-income households, including water heater installations, leak repairs, condensate drain installations, and boiler system repairs across multiple Colorado counties. The contract will run from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2026, with work to be completed within five working days of receiving work orders. Electronic proposals must be submitted through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System by May 23, 2025. The evaluation criteria will heavily weight work quality at 50%, overall pricing at 20%, and production capabilities at 10%. Qualified subcontractors must demonstrate expertise in residential plumbing repairs, particularly for older homes, and comply with local HVAC codes and Colorado Energy Office program standards.

The RFP appears to be open to plumbing subcontractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Successful bidders must provide proof of liability insurance, workers' compensation, and automobile coverage, as well as maintain valid licensing. The Energy Resource Center serves over 250 homes annually and operates under the State of Colorado Purchasing Agreement (NP2079), with the organization being exempt from Colorado State and Federal sales taxes. Subcontractors will be required to provide lien waivers, maintain record retention, accept fixed pricing for the program year, and offer a one-year warranty on materials and workmanship. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract involves working directly with low-income, elderly, and handicapped clients to provide essential home repair services. The competitive negotiation process suggests that multiple vendors may be selected based on their ability to meet the technical and service requirements outlined in the RFP.
