This is an Award Justification Statement for South Sanpete School District (SSSD) in Utah regarding Solicitation #GJ27-17 for Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) services for APEX Centers at Manti High School and Gunnison Valley High School. The District issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select a qualified vendor, with questions due by August 27, 2026, at 2:00 PM MT and proposals due by September 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM MT. Eight qualified contractors submitted proposals, all meeting minimum submittal requirements. The evaluation committee, comprised of District Administrators including the Superintendent, Business Administrator, Maintenance Director, and the District's architect firm, scored proposals across multiple evaluation criteria using a 100-point scale. The South Sanpete School Board approved the award recommendation on September 9, 2026.

Westland Construction was selected as the awarded contractor with the highest total score of 92.1 out of 100 points, determined to provide the best value to the District. The evaluation process assessed proposals across four primary categories: Project Team (30 points), Experience (25 points), Management Plan (30 points), and Cost Proposal (15 points). Westland Construction scored 28.4 points in Project Team, 24.6 points in Experience, 28.4 points in Management Plan, and 10.73 points in Cost Proposal. The RFP process was conducted as a single contract award to the responsive and responsible offeror with the highest total score, in accordance with Utah Code 63G-6a-701, which permits evaluation based on criteria other than cost to determine best value.

I. Result Overall, the evaluation committee determined that the proposal response submitted by Westland Construction provides the best value to South Sanpete School District as the highest scoring, responsive and responsible offeror and will be awarded the contract for the APEX Centers at Manti High and Gunnison Valley High.

II. Evaluation Process A request for proposals (RFP) was issued by the District to select a vendor to provide CM/GC services. Pursuant to Utah Code § 63G-6a-701, the RFP process was used because criteria other than cost were considered important in determining which vendor’s proposal provides the best value to the District.

Of a possible 100 points, Westland Construction scored 92.1 points. Based on the justifications outlined above, it is the opinion of the District Evaluation Committee that an award of a contract to Westland Construction be recommended to the South Sanpete School Board as it provides the best value to the District.
