INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

Through this Request for Proposals (RFP), Wasatch County is hereby soliciting proposals from all qualified applicants to provide construction services for the expansion of the Children’s Justice Center (CJC) located at 1540 E 980 S, Heber City, Utah. The existing Children’s Justice Center, built in 2005, is a homelike facility that provides coordinated services during the child abuse investigative process. The original structure was built with generous financial and direct support from community stakeholders. A facility needs assessment has been performed and stamped plans designed for a small expansion that delivers on identified needs. Responses to this RFP should address the included scope of work and proposal requirements and may provide additional relevant information. Wasatch County intends to compare and evaluate all qualifying submissions to select the most qualified provider based on proposal content and the proposer’s responsiveness to this request for proposals.

Wasatch County intends to begin construction immediately. Wasatch County anticipates selecting one of the responding proposers, but there is no guarantee that any proposer will be selected. Selection of a firm to provide the construction services will be based upon the review of the submitted materials. The County reserves the right to reject any and all submissions.
