Each year, Denver Water works with various contractors and vendors on construction jobs, engineering plans, and information technology jobs, among other projects, by soliciting bids for proposals. This helps ensure Denver Water receives services and supplies in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible.

Denver Water purchases supplies, materials, equipment, and services to support our operations. There are two groups that facilitate purchases:

• Engineering Division: Capital construction and design purchases, which requires Capital Project Prequalification. 
• Administrative Services Division, Procurement: Operational purchases. 

Purchases valued at $250,000 or greater undergo a formal competitive process.
