UPS removal and replacement per attached documented quote.

The Governor's Office of Information Technology (OIT) in Colorado, serving Denver County and Denver City, issued a Documented Quote solicitation for the removal and replacement of telecom room uninterruptible power supply (UPS) equipment. The procurement requires vendors to disconnect and remove an existing EPE-BPS2051 UPS unit with batteries and furnish one new 80kVA online UPS system meeting specific technical requirements, including 3-phase, 3-wire configuration at 208 VAC input/output with 60Hz frequency, a power factor of 0.9 or better, an advanced battery management system, two E20 battery cabinets providing minimum 25-minute backup at full load, and one 3-breaker maintenance bypass unit with dimensions of 18.9"W x 31.6"D x 73.7"H for the UPS and 22.5"W x 31.6"D x 73.7"H for the battery cabinet. Vendors must provide freight, delivery, unit placement, electrical installation, and equipment recycling at domestic United States facilities in accordance with applicable regulations while ensuring all critical loads remain online during the procedure. A mandatory vendor walk-through was scheduled for August 25, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. at 1525 Sherman Street in Denver, Colorado, with a deadline for quote submission on September 2, 2015. Evaluation and award will be based on cost as the primary consideration, with pricing submitted on an F.O.B. Destination basis. Awarded vendors must carry minimum insurance coverage including $1,000,000 commercial general liability per occurrence, $1,000,000 general aggregate, $1,000,000 products and completed operations aggregate, and $1,000,000 automobile liability combined single limit, with the State named as additional insured.

The State of Colorado applies a reciprocal preference policy for resident vendors as outlined in Colorado Revised Statutes Section 8-19-101, which may provide advantages to Colorado-based bidders. Bidders must be registered on Colorado Vendor Self Service (VSS) to be considered responsive to the solicitation. The contract includes a standard manufacturer's warranty for the equipment and contemplates quantities represented in the quote as the minimum order, with potential for additional purchases at the same bid price and conditions for up to five years following the award date, subject to approval by both the vendor and OIT. No specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the solicitation documents; however, the pricing structure as F.O.B. Destination indicates all costs including delivery charges must be incorporated into the bid price. The OIT reserved the right to reject any or all quotes submitted, and no incumbent vendor or existing contractor was identified in the available documentation.
