The University of Wyoming is soliciting bids for the Central Energy Plant Boiler #2 Refractory Repair project, which involves providing all labor and materials to repair the north wall of the firebox for a 60,000 pph IBW boiler. The project is expected to be completed by November 1, 2026. Bids must be submitted electronically via PublicPurchase.com by August 31, 2026. The award will be based on a best-value trade-off method rather than the lowest price, with evaluation factors including bid responsiveness, bidder competency, a minimum of two years of similar project experience, and the qualifications of proposed subcontractors. The contractor is responsible for all site performance, including the delivery and installation of materials, which must be stored in climate-controlled environments with intact labeling. Key requirements include the submission of a 5% bid bond, a Contractor Residency Certification, and a completed AIA A305 Qualification Statement. The contract utilizes internal article numbering for clauses covering payment and performance bonds, liability insurance, and substantial completion. Performance is subject to on-site inspection and acceptance by the Architect and Owner upon the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion.
