Animal Shelter Incinerator

The City of South Salt Lake is seeking bids for an Animal Shelter Incinerator project located at 2274 S. 600 W., South Salt Lake City, Utah. The procurement involves constructing a new building addition and supplying and installing a new incinerator for the animal shelter, with specific requirements for an ECO-750F or ECO-500F Rollback Incinerator. Contractors will be responsible for disconnecting and removing the existing incinerator, constructing a new enclosure, installing a fire-rated garage door, and procuring and installing the new equipment. The bid requires a 5% bid security, and contractors must be properly licensed in the State of Utah. The solicitation opened on June 12, 2023, with bids due on June 28, 2023, at 3:00 PM MDT. An optional pre-bid meeting is scheduled for June 20, 2023, at 10:00 AM on-site, and the project has a 180-calendar day completion timeline, with work expected to begin no later than July 17, 2023. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including bid forms, bid schedules, a bidder status report, and a subcontractor and supplier report.

The procurement does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The project is not federally funded and does not require specific wage rates. Bidders will be evaluated based on being the lowest responsive, qualified, and responsible bidder, with the City reserving the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the project involves replacing an existing incinerator with a new ECO model, suggesting some existing infrastructure will be modified. The architectural plans detail a 232 square foot incinerator room with specific technical specifications, including a dry chemical fire suppression system and precise construction requirements. Bids will remain valid for 45 days after the bid opening, and the City will award the contract to the most advantageous bidder. While no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant capital investment for the new animal shelter facility upgrade.
