Colorado Mountain College’s Aspen Campus located at 0255 Sage Way, Aspen, CO and Carbondale
Campus located at 690 Colorado Ave., Carbondale, CO are requesting quotes from qualified firms
and/or individuals to provide professional custodial services for the two campuses. Firms can bid on
one or both sites, however, CMC’s preference is to award one contract for both sites. CMC is looking
for the best value in services for the college and would prefer to have just one contract, but if a qualified
firm only bids on one of the sites, CMC will evaluate qualifications and costs to determine the best fit
for each site. The Aspen facility was built in 2000, is 33,000 square feet, two floors and has one elevator.
The Carbondale facility was built in 1996, is 9,900 square feet in size, two floors and has one elevator.
