Request for Proposal (RFP): Retail Space Rental

 

Issued by: New Altitude Coworking & Office Space  | Location: 6385 Corporate Dr, STE 200 Colo Springs, CO | RFP Due Date: Wed, April 23, 2025 

Our organization is accepting proposals from community advocacy-minded organizations who are interested in collaborating with and employing individuals with disabilities who are capable and eager to work.  Meaningful employment is a crucial social determinant of health and stability—when individuals have access to work, they gain financial independence, purpose, and community connection.

This opportunity is designed to showcase the talents and contributions of individuals with disabilities. Your organization does not need to be a supported employment agency or nonprofit to qualify—the only requirement is that you employ individuals with disabilities in front-line roles within the space at New Altitude. A description of our organization, the services needed, and other pertinent information is provided below.

Please review the Full Scope and Submittal Requirements document.

 

Key Initiatives:

  • Operate a Retail Space: Utilize the designated area at 6385 Corporate Drive, reception desk on the south side of the lobby in Suite 200 to sell food/beverage items and, if desired, handcrafted items made by the individuals they support. Required hours of operation are Monday through Thursday 9AM – 4PM. Can operate outside of those hours, but that is minimum coverage. 
  • Collaboration with New Altitude: Meet with New Altitude monthly to collaborate with staff about possible partnerships. Allow New Altitude staff to do monthly trainings with organization’s employment staff 1) to ensure the employees are being properly trained and therefore available to answer questions from New Altitude tenants when their front desk is unavailable and 2) to ensure that individuals the organization serves are set up for success. 
Proposals must be emailed by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, April 23rd.
