The State of Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife (CPW), issued a Request for Documented Quotations (DQ1 2018-0558) seeking competitive bids for the fabrication and delivery of fiberglass molded tanks and raceways for the Native Aquatic Species Restoration Facility in Alamosa, Colorado. The procurement requires two fiberglass molded circular tanks with a 144-inch inside diameter, 36 inches deep, featuring a 2-inch slope to a center drain, a 12-inch diameter sump, and an 18-inch molded skirt, along with eight fiberglass molded raceways measuring 92 inches long, 32 inches wide, and 30 inches deep with support ribs, two screen slots, and molded recessed slots for screen wedges. Vendors must fabricate tanks as one-piece construction with integrated support skirting and undersupport structures, and are responsible for producing 1/8-inch punched aluminum screens and nylon wedges for the raceways. The bid was posted December 7, 2017, with a written inquiry deadline of December 14, 2017, at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time and answers posted by December 15; bids were due December 19, 2017, by 11:00 a.m. Mountain Time, with a Notice of Intent to Award expected by December 20. A firm delivery deadline of February 5, 2018, is non-negotiable and incorporated into project specifications, with all costs including delivery to be included in the final bid price. Required bid submissions include the pricing sheet, specification verification and delivery sheet, vendor information sheet, current automobile liability insurance certificate with a minimum $1,000,000 limit, and a completed W-9 form if not registered on Colorado's Vendor Self-Service portal, with bidders required to certify specification compliance and acceptance of CPW's standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions without modifications.

Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) registered and verified through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are eligible to receive a 5 percent preference on their bids upon submission of appropriate certification documentation. Resident bidder preferences apply according to reciprocal arrangements established with other states. All vendors doing business with the State of Colorado must complete the state's W-9 substitute form to provide taxpayer identification information and certifications, including business diversity designations such as minority-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged business enterprise status. CPW's intent is to make a single vendor award, with other state departments eligible to use the resulting pricing structure. The solicitation documents do not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they specify a budget range or award value. Bids could be submitted through multiple channels including Colorado Vendor Self-Service, email, courier delivery, or personal delivery to the CPW Purchasing Agent, with payment to occur following delivery and acceptance of products by the CPW project manager.
