The City of Aurora, Colorado is seeking qualified firms to develop an updated Water Efficiency Plan (WEP) for its Water Supply and Demand Division through RFP-2457. This procurement requires a comprehensive update to the city's water conservation strategy, which is mandated by the Colorado Water Conservation Board every seven years. The selected firm will conduct a product saturation analysis, develop conservation programs, assess program impacts, and track performance metrics. Key deliverables include detailed documentation of water efficiency strategies, comprehensive program evaluations, and a robust implementation plan aligned with the recently completed Integrated Water Master Plan. The evaluation process will allocate 100 points across multiple criteria: 50 points for project descriptions and references, 30 points for statement of qualifications, and 10 points for hourly fee schedule. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for May 6, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams, with electronic proposal submissions due by 4:00 p.m. (MT) on May 21, 2025, through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is structured as a one-year agreement with potential extensions, and will be funded through the City of Aurora's appropriations. Total compensation will be determined through negotiation with the top-ranked firm following a multi-step evaluation process that may include short-listing, potential interviews, and final contract discussions. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned, the RFP indicates this is a continuation of water efficiency planning dating back to 1984. Proposing firms must provide comprehensive documentation including organizational charts, key personnel details, project schedules, and references, and must comply with specified insurance requirements. The project builds upon the city's recent Integrated Water Master Plan update and represents a strategic approach to water resource management and conservation planning.
