U.S. District Courthouse - O&M/Custodial Supplement

Under normal conditions, when placing an O&M/custodial offer, a standard price per square foot is set and used. However, given the numerous factors that make the Utah U.S.

District Courthouse unique, this is not advised, especially given the prominence of the building in the public eye and the high standard of the courthouse’s tenants. To aid all possible contractors in the proposal process, this supplementary document has been made to illuminate the challenges that a building such as this may present, and in turn help the offerors know how to properly propose and staff this building.
