Consulting Services for Site Assessment

The solicitation RFP-FAAA-2026000268-4 seeks qualified individuals and firms to be placed on a pre-qualified list providing consulting services for environmental site assessments under CERCLA protocols, with an estimated six assessments per year over a five-year period. The contract has a total ceiling of $1,500,000, with an annual budget of $300,000, and will be administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) out of Denver. The initial contract term begins September 1, 2026, and may be renewed at the State’s sole discretion for up to four additional one-year periods contingent upon funding and performance. Offerors must demonstrate experience with CERCLA site assessments, preliminary assessments, site inspections, HRS evaluations, and data validation, and must submit organizational summaries, project samples, technical proposals, cost information, and references as part of their response. All proposers are required to maintain a physical office within Colorado, comply with state accessibility and technology standards including WCAG Level AA, and disclose any performance outside Colorado or the U.S. The evaluation process is trade-off based, weighing technical merit, experience, and cost without formal numerical weighting or scoring, aiming to select the most advantageous offer per Colorado law. The only point of contact is Kristi Gamble, and all submissions must be submitted electronically via BidNet by the deadline of August 10, 2026, with no email submissions accepted. Modifications have extended submission deadlines and incorporated addendum responses, but all other terms remain unchanged. SDVOSB status requires SBA certification, and compliance with Colorado statutes on ethics, conflict of interest, and procurement is mandatory. No federal FAR-style clauses apply; contractual obligations are governed by state statutes and outlined in draft contract exhibits including the Statement of Work, Submission Instructions, and Main Task Order Contract Template. Payment and invoicing must occur through Colorado’s Vendor Self Service system, and awardees must provide proof of good standing and insurance post-award.
