Alpine School District, located in Utah County, Utah, is soliciting proposals through Request for Proposal (RFP) Solicitation #ASD02122026HM for an interior remodel project at Lakeridge Junior High School in Orem, Utah. The procurement seeks a single responsive and responsible contractor to complete comprehensive interior remodeling work encompassing approximately 40,000 square feet of classroom space on Level 2 of the facility. The scope of work includes selective demolition, rough and finish carpentry, firestopping, joint sealants, hollow metal and wood doors with frames, door hardware, painting, and associated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in accordance with detailed construction documents prepared by CORE Architecture. Key deliverables include compliance with Grade 1 hollow metal doors, premium-grade architectural woodwork, fire-rated assemblies meeting NFPA 80 standards, and comprehensive door hardware sets from qualified manufacturers, with all materials and installation methods complying with manufacturers' written instructions and applicable industry standards including the International Building Code and ANSI specifications. Contractor qualifications must include a minimum of five years of relevant professional experience, a current Utah State Contractors License, current business license, and proof of liability and workers compensation insurance. The contract will be awarded based on a two-stage evaluation process: Stage One requires a minimum threshold of 80% (560 points) across company history and profile (250 points), demonstrated technical capability and expertise (300 points), and references (150 points); Stage Two evaluates cost proposals (300 points), with the lowest total cost receiving full points and other vendors receiving proportional points. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Friday, February 6, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. MST at Lakeridge Jr High's main front office, with late arrivals deemed non-responsive and ineligible to bid. Proposals must be submitted electronically through Utah Public Procurement Place (UPPP) by Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time. The contract duration extends for the project completion, with an anticipated construction start date of May 26, 2026, and substantial completion deadline of August 10, 2026.

The RFP contains no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting participation to particular organization types; however, all vendor employees, subcontractors, and associated individuals with access to school facilities must undergo mandatory criminal background checks administered by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification, with vendors responsible for associated fees and compliance with Alpine School District Board Policy 4457, which renders felony-convicted applicants ineligible and subjects misdemeanor-convicted individuals to discretionary review. Additionally, all vendors must certify compliance with Utah Code Annotated provisions regarding anti-boycott actions, restricted foreign entities, and forced labor prohibitions. For bids exceeding $50,000, a bid bond equal to 5% of the total bid amount is required, to be provided by a surety company authorized to do business in Utah, with the successful contractor required to provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The RFP does not specify a budget range or award value; however, based on the project scope encompassing 40,000 square feet of interior remodeling with an aggressive two-month completion timeline (May 26 to August 10, 2026), interested bidders should consult the detailed construction documents, project manual, and drawings to assess project complexity and prepare accurate cost proposals. The District reserves the right to cancel the contract with thirty days' notice due to lack of funding or poor performance and has no obligation to award a contract if funding is determined to be unavailable or not financially feasible.
