The Agricultural Resource Division of the Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department (BCPOS) is seeking solicitations from qualified Contractors for the installation of center pivot sprinklers. The center pivots to be installed are linear move sprinkler systems and solid set with hand move sprinkler systems. These sprinkler systems will be installed on agricultural open space properties and will be assigned on a project-by-project basis. Projects assigned will involve parties that have qualified and are approved for the Federal Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP), managed by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). NRCS standards and specifications will be required for these projects. The agricultural tenants of these properties, who are the qualifiers of EQIP funds, will be the purchaser of the sprinkler systems. Any and all warranties provided should extend to the tenant and the County. The tenant will be reimbursed by NRCS through EQIP funds and by BCPOS. Reimbursement by the County to the tenant will be based on, and is not to exceed, the original submitted bid amount from Contractor. Boulder County is not financially responsible for payment to the selected contractor.
This SOQ is meant to establish an annual list of qualified Contractors that the tenant can use to
obtain price quotes for their specific irrigation sprinkler design, therefore, more than one contractor
will be selected. This SOQ is not intended to establish a contract between the County and the
Contractor, but to ensure all Contractors are in compliance with County procurement requirements.
The Tenant and Contractor will release all bid information to the County including specs and design
maps. Boulder County will issue written authorization to the tenant once a contractor has been selected.
