SLCo FAC134391 Ammonia Supplies and Services RFC

Salt Lake County Facilities Management is soliciting bids for a six-year contract to provide ammonia refrigerant oil, Frick/Vilter compressor parts, refrigeration system components, and controls for its managed ice rink facilities. The scope of work includes comprehensive maintenance and support, ranging from monthly engine room checks and semi-annual compressor services—including vibration and oil sample analysis—to scheduled preventative maintenance, general repairs, and emergency services. To qualify, bidders must possess at least 20 years of experience in ammonia refrigeration installation and service, with at least 10 of those years specifically focused on ice rink environments. Additionally, the successful contractor must maintain a service facility and personnel within 20 miles of Salt Lake County and keep common parts, such as oil and filters, in local stock. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the grand total of the bid schedule. Bidders must provide a percentage discount off the list price for items and ensure a complete submission to avoid being deemed non-responsive. The agreement incorporates strict compliance standards, including the Davis-Bacon Act, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, and various environmental and equal employment opportunity regulations. Key contractual terms include a one-year warranty on products, FOB destination shipping with freight prepaid by the contractor, and a 30-day payment term following the acceptance of goods or services. The County also utilizes a preference system for vendors who provide qualifying employee health care, veteran hiring programs, drug and alcohol testing, job training, or OSHA-compliant safety programs.
