DFCM Stage II Invitation to Bid for Stage I Prequalified Contractors, 9.3.2026 3

Project Details Detailed Project Description/Base Bid:

Davis Technical College is looking to replace selected branch panels and transformers throughout the facility that are approaching their end of useful life. Some equipment will be direct replacements while others are selected for relocation as well as replacement.

Because this campus does not have large vacancies in their classroom schedule(s), all rough in work should be completed and planned so that the changeover to the new panels and transformers can happen overnight or on weekends. This is intended to minimize electrical shutdowns that could affect class and staff schedules.

The bid bond must be submitted on the AIA document A310 – 2010 Bid Bond Form, or equivalent, to be accepted unless only one bid is received by DFCM, or the failure to comply with the bid bond requirements is determined by the Director of DFCM to be immaterial based on the following:

If the Contractor cannot certify this statement, provide a detailed written explanation to dfcmcontracts@utah.gov by the time and date specified as the bid deadline on the Solicitation Schedule. DFCM reserves the right to reject the Contractor’s explanation and disqualify them from the selection process.

6. Withdrawal of Bids Bids may be withdrawn on written request received from bidder prior to the time fixed for opening. Negligence on the part of the bidder in preparing the bid confers no right for the withdrawal of the bid after it has been opened.
