The State of Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) is requesting bids on an invitational construction project for sewer repair, flooring replacement, tree removal, site concrete replacement, and kitchen cabinet door replacement at a Department of Health and Human Services group home in St. George, Utah (Project #27084400), with bids due September 9, 2026. This is a hard-capped invitational solicitation: only Blacklist Contracting, Desert Development, New Wave Construction, and Sunwest Builders are eligible to bid, and attendance at a mandatory in-person meeting on August 20, 2026 at 1:30 PM at the project site (191 W 200 S, St. George, UT 84770) is required for bid eligibility.

The base scope includes repair and renovation of approximately 67 linear feet of existing 4-inch sewer main (55 linear feet below the building slab, 12 linear feet exterior), luxury vinyl plank flooring replacement, tree removal with stump grinding, site concrete replacement for cracked and heaved areas, and kitchen cabinet door and drawer front replacement. Five additive alternates are available: tree removal, toilet and tub removal from a bathing/storage room, site concrete replacement, kitchen cabinet door replacement, and additional site concrete replacement. The building is occupied (14 persons, occupancy type I-2) during construction, requiring dustless demolition and protective barriers. A hazardous materials survey identified approximately 200 linear feet of asbestos-containing material in pipe thread sealant (3% chrysotile content, non-friable condition) in the utility room; this material must be removed by a licensed abatement contractor prior to disturbance. Work must comply with 2024 Utah Code, 2024 IBC, 2024 IEBC, 2024 IFC, 2024 IPC, 2024 IMC, 2024 IECC, 2023 NEC, and 2017 ICC A117.1 standards.

The construction cost estimate is $54,545.00. Substantial completion for all work is December 11, 2026, with base bid scope required by October 31, 2026. A bid bond equal to 5% of the bid amount (AIA Document A310-2010 form) must accompany submission. Liquidated damages are $250.00 per day for delays. Questions are due August 27, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The State intends to award a Short Form Construction Contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
