The project, identified as #26354410 with solicitation number CS26091, has an estimated construction cost of $1,000,000 and is governed by the DFCM General Conditions (August 31, 2020), which form the foundation of the Contractor’s Agreement and supersede all other contract documents except authorized modifications or addenda. Bids must be submitted electronically via the U3P website by June 25, 2026, at 3:00 PM, and late submissions will result in automatic disqualification. A bid bond is required, and failure to submit a compliant bond renders the bid nonresponsive. Within 24 hours of bid opening, bidders must provide a detailed list of all first-tier subcontractors meeting state thresholds, with subcontractors costing $35,000 or more required to be listed due to the project’s value exceeding $500,000. The award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, subject to passing mandatory pass/fail gates including bid submission, subcontractor listing, and bid bond compliance. All bidders must include in their proposal the costs associated with BCI background checks and HIPAA compliance for onsite personnel. The successful contractor must provide performance and payment bonds in the full contract amount using AIA A312-2010 forms, secured by a surety qualified under UAR 23-1-1102, and must submit these within ten business days of contract execution; the Notice to Proceed will not be issued until the bonds are received. Insurance requirements include contractor’s liability coverage meeting DFCM’s minimums and builder’s risk insurance with specified terms. The contractor must submit a detailed schedule of values with the first payment application, using a DFCM-approved form that avoids frontloading, and must update the critical path schedule monthly using Primavera, MS Project, or Phoenix. All work must comply with the State of Utah High Performance Building Standard and design documents prepared by McNeil Engineering, including landscape demolition, planting, irrigation, and detail plans. The contractor is responsible for ensuring all subcontractors are properly licensed and for maintaining compliance with state anti-discrimination
