Professional Moving Services for Boulder Creek Health & Science Center Project

The Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) Procurement Services Office is requesting quotes on behalf of the Community College of Denver (CCD) for professional moving services for the Boulder Creek Health & Science Center Project, with quotes due October 1, 2026, and a mandatory pre-bid meeting and facility walkthrough on September 23, 2026.

The scope covers relocation of seven academic programs—Health & Wellness, Dental Hygiene, Veterinary Technology, Surgical Technology, Phlebotomy, Nursing, and Radiologic Technology—from the Cherry Creek Building on the Auraria Campus and the Lowry Campus to the new Boulder Creek Health & Science Center on the Auraria Campus. The relocation includes classroom furnishings, office contents, specialized medical and laboratory equipment (X-ray systems, C-arms, mammography units, dental equipment, and simulation equipment), and faculty resources. Phased moves are anticipated to begin in late November 2026, with project completion targeted for December 31, 2026, to allow classes to begin in mid-January 2027.

Respondents must demonstrate at least five years of commercial relocation services experience and must have completed at least three projects within the past five years involving specialized medical and laboratory equipment relocation and at least three comparable healthcare or higher education relocation projects. A dedicated Project Manager must be assigned. All respondents must attend the entire mandatory pre-bid meeting. Colorado licenses, registrations, and specified insurance coverage are required.

Pricing must be firm and fixed, including all labor, supervision, transportation, insurance, fuel, equipment, and materials. Respondents must submit a lump-sum price for the complete scope, a detailed breakdown by major task or phase, hourly rates for additional services, and unit pricing for reusable moving totes and packing materials. Pricing is valid for a minimum of 90 days following the quote due date. Written inquiries are due September 25, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with responses published by September 29, 2026. Award is estimated for October 7, 2026, with a desired Purchase Order start date of October 12, 2026. Cost is the primary evaluation criterion, considered alongside specialized medical and laboratory equipment experience, move logistics and schedule, comparable project experience and references, and qualifications of the project manager and move team.
