Public procurement context

Regional Transportation District in Denver, Colorado is using this solicitation to procure environmental work. Public agencies typically advertise this kind of work as a Request for Proposals (RFP), evaluating bidders on a combination of qualifications, technical approach, and price. Bidders responding to a environmental solicitation in Colorado are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.

Federal-aid funding flowing through programs such as the Federal Highway Administration, FEMA, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act brings additional compliance requirements on solicitations like this one, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America provisions where applicable, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals set by the issuing agency. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Colorado so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.

How to respond to this RFP

To submit a proposal for this RFP, review the full solicitation documents for Regional Transportation District's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the July 2, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Vendors that have not previously contracted with Regional Transportation District should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
