Deer Creek State Park Sprinkler System Installation

The State of Utah Division of Parks and Recreation and Division of Purchasing issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) solicitation #AS20067 for the Deer Creek State Park Sprinkler System Installation project. The procurement seeks a vendor to install a complete sprinkler system in the Wallsburg Group Area, with all materials already purchased by the state. A mandatory site visit was conducted on October 10, 2019, at 11:00 am, and bids were due by October 17, 2019, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time. The project requires full installation of the sprinkler system before December 10, 2019, utilizing an existing secondary water system connection. Specific installation requirements include following commercial installation standards, adhering to precise burial depths to prevent damage from tent stakes, and completing blue staking of the area. Vendors were required to provide detailed company information, confirm licensing, and demonstrate no outstanding tax liens. Evaluation criteria included responsiveness, compliance with technical specifications, and submission of comprehensive bid documentation.

The solicitation did not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for specific enterprise types. Erin and Sam Enterprises was ultimately awarded the contract for submitting the lowest responsive bid. The procurement followed standard Utah Procurement Code guidelines, with the project structured as a lump sum installation requiring no additional parts procurement. While specific budget details were not disclosed, the contract was based on a fixed-price model for the sprinkler system installation. Vendors were required to coordinate closely with the park's Building and Grounds Supervisor to avoid existing utility lines and ensure proper system integration. The project represented a targeted infrastructure improvement for the Wallsburg Group Area, focusing on enhancing the park's water management capabilities through a precise, professionally installed sprinkler system.
