Construction: Fire Alarm Upgrade at Bennion Jr REBID

The Granite School District (GSD) is soliciting bids through Invitation for Bids (IFB) JF26-026-IFB-REBID to engage a licensed General Electrical Contractor (E200) for installing a new Fire Alarm and Carbon Monoxide Detection System at Bennion Jr High School in Utah. The procurement process requires mandatory attendance at a pre-bid meeting, and bids must be submitted electronically via the Utah Bonfire portal or physically delivered to the GSD Purchasing Department by June 25, 2026. Award of the contract is expected to be made after Board approval at the July 7, 2026 meeting, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest cost responsive and responsible bidder that meets all specifications, following a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach. The project scope is defined by the Project Manual, specifications, and drawings provided by GSD, with the contractor responsible for complete and compliant installation, adherence to applicable regulatory standards, and ensuring qualified personnel perform the work. The contract incorporates specific provisions unique to the School District’s standards rather than federal FAR clauses, including requirements for ethical conduct, confidentiality, indemnification, and strict adherence to Utah procurement statutes and employment verification (E-Verify). The Contractor must avoid any conflicts of interest with the District, comply with public contract boycott restrictions related to Israel, and maintain insurance and labor standards as outlined. Deliveries are FOB Destination, with the contractor bearing freight costs and responsibility until final acceptance within 30 days post-delivery by GSD. While detailed packaging or barcoding requirements are not addressed, the contractor must safeguard confidential information and deliver all work products as “work made for hire” owned by the District. Payment is processed within 30 days of correct invoicing, though specifics on accounting codes or electronic payment portals are not provided. The solicitation allows for detailed submission instructions but does not specify page limits or proposal volume structure. Overall, this procurement prioritizes regulatory compliance, contractor responsibility, quality installation, and transparent competitive pricing within a public school infrastructure upgrade project.
