Re-Issued Solicitation Electronic Rolling Security Gate and Fencing Installation (CDBG Funded)

This solicitation, re-issued as RFB 2026-01-RFB-R1, seeks a qualified contractor to deliver and install a complete, fully operational, and code-compliant electronic rolling security gate system with accompanying perimeter fencing and an access control pedestal for the staff parking lot at the Volunteers of America, Utah Youth Resource Center in Salt Lake City. The project is funded entirely by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and is subject to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, including mandatory compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act, which requires payment of prevailing wages to all workers and subcontractors. The contract is firm-fixed-price, with award determined on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning that technical compliance is a pass/fail requirement and price is the sole determinant for selection. The scope encompasses all labor, materials, equipment, permits, inspections, and incidentals needed to install a turnkey system including the rolling gate, fencing, pedestrian access gate, access control pedestal with badge reader and keypad, power infrastructure, electrical work, civil work such as trenching and concrete foundations, and full integration with the existing Avigilon access control system. All components must be new, durable, vandal-resistant, weatherproof, and operationally reliable under all conditions, with system performance validated prior to acceptance. Bidders must submit a detailed project schedule, technical documentation including product specifications, power system descriptions, access control pedestal details, and system integration plans, alongside a completed bid summary and assumptions/exclusions table that clearly outlines any limitations or deviations. Failure to disclose assumptions or exclusions may render a bid non-responsive. The contractor is required to maintain insurance coverage including commercial general liability, workers’ compensation, umbrella/excess liability, and cyber risk insurance—minimum $1 million per claim—if handling sensitive data—with Volunteers of America, Utah named as an additional insured. Compliance with Section 3 requirements mandates the inclusion of employment and contracting opportunities for low- and very-low-income individuals. All work must be performed at the specified location in Salt Lake City, with no commencement until receipt of a written Notice to Proceed, and all deliveries are F.O.B. destination, with risk of loss retained by the contractor until final acceptance. The estimated budget is $70,000 to $75,000, though no actual pricing data is provided in the solicitation, as costs are to be submitted in a mandated Bonfire Excel template through the Utah Public Procurement Place portal. Payment will be made within 30
