Real Estate Brokerage Services

Boulder County Building Services, a division of Public Works in Colorado, is soliciting submissions from qualified licensed Colorado Real Estate Brokers through RFP-287-26 to provide comprehensive real estate brokerage services for marketing and listing county properties to identify potential buyers and to facilitate the acquisition of new properties through purchase or lease. The scope of work includes assisting with sales, purchases, and leases of commercial property; providing real estate market research and analysis with periodic reports; writing standard real estate contracts using Colorado Division of Real Estate approved documents; preparing Broker's Price Opinions; coordinating contract details including appraisals, inspections, title work, surveys, and settlements; accompanying county representatives at closings; and documenting negotiation and acquisition activities. Qualified brokers must hold a current Colorado Real Estate Broker's license, demonstrate listing and selling experience with commercial properties, possess a minimum of ten years' experience specifically in the Boulder County commercial real estate market, and show demonstrated experience providing real estate services to municipal governments. The evaluation will be conducted by a selection committee using a weighted scoring matrix totaling 100 points, with credentials and related experience comprising 40 points, market approach at 30 points, availability and capability for timely response at 20 points, and compliance with contract terms and conditions at 10 points. Submissions must include resumes and proof of licensure for key personnel, disclosure of any Colorado Real Estate Commission disciplinary actions within the past ten years, detailed descriptions of marketing and property location methods, sample contracts, certificates of insurance or proof of ability to obtain required coverage, a completed W-9 form, current workload information, office location details, and response timeframes for inquiries. The solicitation was posted on May 7, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 26, 2026; inquiries regarding the procurement process should be directed to procurement@bouldercounty.gov.

The procurement does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular business categories or disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Boulder County intends to establish a master services agreement effective upon signature with work authorization contingent upon the issuance of specific task orders, with no guaranteed task orders specified. The contract structure establishes a "not to exceed" payment arrangement with a specified highest annual amount, though specific pricing details and annual limits are referenced in Exhibit B but not disclosed in the summary documents. Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and Professional Liability (Errors and Omissions) with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per loss and $1,000,000 aggregate. When the broker acts as a buyer's agent for the county, the seller or property owner is responsible for paying the agent's commission, ensuring the county does not bear commission costs for purchase transactions. The County reserves the right to terminate the contract for convenience with seven days' written notice or for breach with thirty days' notice, and any contract extensions require written amendments and may require approval from the Board of County Commissioners or applicable Department Heads.
