The project scope includes drilling boreholes, earthwork, and installation of the ground loop piping outdoors, while all mechanical retrofitting inside the school building will be procured via a separate solicitation.

A minimum technical score of 70% is required for award eligibility. The contract incorporates Salt Lake City School District standard terms, McKinstry’s sample subcontract agreement, and contractor performance standards governing quality, safety, and coordination during execution.

The procurement includes requirements for E-Verify workforce compliance and prohibits participation in boycotts of Israel under Utah law.
