Dolores School District Releases February 2026 Newsletter Including Commons Boiler RFP

The Dolores School District published its February 2026 newsletter on Feb. 5, 2026, and highlighted a Request for Proposals for a boiler replacement in the school commons. The newsletter post directs readers to the PDF with the instruction: "Please click the link below to read the Dolores School District Monthly Newsletter! February 2026 Newsletter" and identifies the RFP as a prominent district notification.

The RFP is listed on the district’s procurement page and is labeled in site navigation as "RFP Boiler Replacement Project – Commons Area." The district provides a downloadable copy with the label "Download PDF version of RFP" and routes procurement materials through its RFP/RFQ page. The RFP text available on the site opens with a clear solicitation: "Request for Proposals (RFP) Boiler Replacement Project – Commons Area Dolores School District 1. Introduction The Dolores School District (the “District”) is soliciting sealed proposals from qualified, licensed mechanical contractors addressed to the Dolores Board of Education, to remove and replace an existing Raypak boiler system with […]" The RFP wording indicates sealed proposals must be addressed to the Dolores Board of Education and that qualified, licensed mechanical contractors are the intended respondents. The RFP excerpt available online is truncated after the phrase "with […]"; the full replacement specification and submission details are contained in the RFP PDF.

District contact information and a standard closing appear with the newsletter and RFP posts. The site repeats the closing: "Thank you The Dolores School District District Office: 970-882-7255 Elementary School: 970-882-4688 Middle School/High School: 970-882-7288 Teddy Bear Preschool: 970-882-7277" and lists the author/contact email as info@dolores.k12.co.us. The February newsletter continues the district’s pattern of monthly communications; prior posts include "Dolores School District January 2026 Newsletter" and "Dolores School District December 2025 Newsletter," and the site also lists local items such as "The Dolores Ski & Snowboard Club 25-26 Ski Season."

For local contractors and residents, the RFP is the immediate item of interest. The available excerpts confirm the district is replacing an existing Raypak boiler in the commons area, but they do not state the replacement make or model, capacity, fuel type, timeline, bid deadline, bonding or insurance requirements, or delivery instructions. Prospective bidders and community members should obtain the full RFP PDF on the district RFP/RFQ page or contact the District Office at 970-882-7255 or info@dolores.k12.co.us to confirm submission deadlines, site-visit requirements, and full scope of work.

A commons-area boiler replacement could affect building heating, contractor work in town, and district facilities budgets. The Board of Education is the addressee for sealed proposals, and the district’s February newsletter provides the formal notice and downloadable RFP that will govern the procurement. Residents and contractors should monitor district postings and direct procurement questions to the contacts listed for the next steps in the project.
