Construction: Move Auditorium Seating

Granite School District is seeking bids for a construction project to relocate auditorium seating from Skyline High School to Taylorsville High School in Salt Lake County, Utah. The Invitation for Bids (IFB) requires a responsive and responsible contractor to remove existing lower auditorium seating from Skyline High School, dispose of Taylorsville High School's current seating, and reinstall the Skyline seating at Taylorsville High School. Key project requirements include maintaining the same seating footprint while maximizing seat count and ensuring compliance with ADA and fire codes. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 9, 2025, at 11:00 AM Mountain Time, with contractors required to have a full-time Site Superintendent on-site during all work. The project timeline includes seating removal from Taylorsville High between December 17-24, 2025, Skyline High between December 17, 2025, and January 31, 2026, and reinstallation at Taylorsville High between January 6-23, 2026. Bids will be evaluated based on lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications, with consideration given to product quality, conformity to specifications, and delivery time.

The procurement does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must meet current Utah licensing requirements and carry a minimum of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate liability insurance coverage. The project includes financial penalties of $250 per calendar day for late start or project completion. Bidders must submit a detailed plan and seating count for reinstallation through the Bonfire Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) system by the September 15, 2025 due date. If the project exceeds $50,000, the award recommendation will be presented to the Granite School District Board for approval at the October 7, 2025 board meeting, with final award issued after board approval. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive bid requirements and project specifications suggest a substantial infrastructure modification project focused on precise auditorium seating relocation and reinstallation.
