The State of Utah’s Division of Facilities Construction and Management is soliciting bids for the supply and installation of a Low Head Oxygenator system at the Loa Fish Hatchery, with an estimated project cost of $120,000. The solicitation, identified as DA26048 and posted on May 20, 2026, requires responses by June 23, 2026, submitted exclusively through the U3P portal. The work involves providing a complete LHO system in accordance with the Contract Documents, which include detailed drawings, specifications, and supplemental conditions, with all materials and equipment delivered to the project site in Utah. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price arrangement, with award based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid. The contractor must submit approved shop drawings, product data, and samples, and ensure all components, particularly oxygen service tubing, are cleaned and factory-capped to prevent contamination. Compliance with Utah Code 63G-6a-121 is mandatory, requiring certification that no products are manufactured using forced labor, and all subcontractors must be properly licensed with documented proof provided. Performance is to be completed at the Loa Fish Hatchery site, with inspections conducted jointly by DFCM, the contractor, and the architect/engineer during substantial and final completion phases. Acceptance requires written certification including waivers of liens, record drawings, and final insurance certificates. The contractor is responsible for all costs associated with correcting nonconforming work and for maintaining insurance coverage including builder’s risk and general liability. Payment is processed through DFCM using Applications for Payment and Certificates for Payment, though no specific remittance details, accounting codes, or electronic invoicing systems like WAWF are specified. Packaging, marking, and preservation standards are minimal, limited to oxygen service handling and contamination control, with no reference to military standards or barcoding requirements. No federal FAR clauses appear in the document; instead, contract terms are organized under state-specific Articles with internal numbering. There are no designated key personnel, security clearances, options, or OCI provisions. The unique entity ID and socioeconomic certifications are not required, and the contract does not include evaluation factors beyond lowest bid price. All contractual obligations, disputes, and legal venue are governed by Utah state law, with Salt Lake County designated as the venue for resolution.
