26-West Valley Campus 2/3 Expansion

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, conducting on behalf of Utah Charter Academies (UCA), is requesting proposals for Construction Management/General Contractor services to complete a building expansion at American Preparatory Academy's West Valley Campus 2/3, with proposals due September 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. MDT and a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on August 27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (on-site and virtual options available).

The scope spans two overlapping phases: Phase 1 (commencing late fall 2026, opening August 2027) includes an elementary classroom addition with six classrooms, three breakout classrooms, and restrooms; Phase 2 (commencing summer 2027, occupancy 2028/2029) includes a secondary classroom addition with four oversized classrooms for Band, Orchestra, Dance, and Drama (with Drama functioning as a black box theater), an auditorium seating approximately 450 with support spaces, site improvements, and a lunch preparation kitchen building shell as an alternate bid item. The project is located at 3636 West 3100 South, West Valley City, Utah.

The budgeted construction cost is $16,093,075. The contractor must be a Utah-licensed general contractor, execute AIA Document A133-2019, and provide performance and payment bonds each equal to 100 percent of the construction budget. Pricing must be guaranteed for six months. Cost proposals must include a preconstruction fee (lump sum), construction management fee (percentage of cost of work), construction supervision cost (lump sum), temporary construction cost/general conditions (lump sum), self-performed work markup (percentage), contractor's modification factor, and change order markup (not to exceed 5% after final guaranteed maximum price).

Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: 30 percent for capability to complete a quality project; 40 percent for capability and commitment to meet the substantial completion date; 30 percent for price proposal. Price points allocate 100 percent of available points to the lowest-cost proposal, with all other proposals receiving proportional points; proposals exceeding 200 percent of the lowest price receive no points. Interviews will occur the week of September 14, 2026, with selection announcement targeted for no later than September 15, 2026. Questions are due September 7, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. MDT via the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P)/Bonfire website.
