Each recycling station must feature two waste stream slots with a capacity of 35-45 gallons per stream, accommodating both landfill waste (black rectangular) and single-stream recycling (blue circular) waste streams. The units must be constructed from recycled plastic in gray color, measuring approximately 40"W x 20"D x 35"H and not exceeding 50"W x 39"D x 48"H, with internal bins for standard bags, top access for disposal, front access for custodial removal, and a headboard containing two display frames measuring a minimum of 11" x 17". Vendors were required to submit quotes by September 20, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time, with delivery required on or before December 9, 2016. Pricing must include all shipping, handling, and delivery charges on an FOB Destination basis with no additional charges permitted, and quotes must remain firm for ninety days. A minimum one-year warranty is required, and payment will be made net forty-five days after service acceptance. All vendors must be registered on both the Colorado Operations Resource Engine (CORE) and ColoradoVSS system and submit required documentation including a completed W-9 form, PERA retiree questionnaire, and certifications regarding unauthorized immigrants and sole proprietor identification requirements.

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) are eligible for a 5 percent price deduction on qualifying bids. This is a re-bid solicitation, and no bidders' conference or site visit was specified in the documentation. The specification document requests that vendors explain their solution's ability to expand to four waste stream slots by interchanging tops, which represents a key evaluation consideration. Prior to delivery, the awarded vendor must contact the department to arrange installation of the recycling stations. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget range was provided in the available documentation.
