RRCC 26-12-DQ Industrial Controls Equipment

Red Rocks Community College (RRCC), a state institution in Jefferson County, Colorado, is issuing a documented quote (RRCC 26-12-DQ) for the procurement of industrial controls equipment to support its Electrician and Instrumentation and Controls programs. The solicitation requests ten line items totaling approximately $70,000 in budget, including four PanelView 5310 12" graphic terminals, eight PowerFlex 525 VFD drives (120V, 1 HP), eight PowerFlex 755 AC drives (240V, 3-phase), six Rotary Motor TLP-A070-040 units, six Kinetix 5100 Servo drives, six feedback cables, six power cables, six USB interface cables, and six Kinetix 5100 software licenses—all from Rockwell Automation to match existing lab equipment. Vendors must submit complete quotes on an "all-or-none" basis and are required to provide unit pricing, manufacturer information, and total pricing for each line item, with pricing to be firm during the initial term and inclusive of all delivery, shipping, and installation fees. Key deadlines include a written inquiry deadline of 9:00 AM on March 16, 2026, a quote submission deadline of 5:00 PM on March 19, 2026, estimated award notification on March 20, 2026, and a desired purchase order start date of March 24, 2026, with all equipment required to be delivered by June 1, 2026. Evaluation criteria emphasize price as the primary consideration, though sample quality and lead time may also be evaluated, and the award will be made to the responsible respondent whose acceptable quote is most advantageous to the State.

The procurement is funded wholly or partially through the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006, a federal grant supporting career and technical education, which subjects the contract to federal compliance requirements including debarment and suspension checks, prevailing wage requirements, equal employment opportunity provisions, and domestic goods production preferences. Vendors must acknowledge their registration status with the Colorado VSS System and provide certifications regarding small business status, woman-owned business status, minority business status, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) status. Respondents must submit a completed Vendor Response and Price Sheet, a current W-9 form, and all required documentation via email to Lynn Beltran, Director of Purchasing, at lynn.beltran@rrcc.edu, with the subject line "RRCC 26-12-DQ, Industrial Controls Equipment." Payment terms are Net 45 days, and all quotes must be exclusive of federal and state taxes from which the college is exempt. The anticipated contract value is $70,000, representing a single award opportunity for qualified vendors capable of supplying Rockwell Automation equipment matching the college's existing infrastructure.
