DFCM Construction - Invitational - Department of Public Service - Ogden DLD Ductless Split and Water Heater Replacement - Project #27075550

The State of Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) is soliciting bids for replacement of a ductless split system, water heater, and pressure relief valve at the Ogden Department of Local Development facility (Project #27075550), with bids due October 29, 2026. This is an invitational procurement — only three pre-selected contractors are authorized to bid: Grimes Mechanical (Kade Brown, Kbown@grimescorp.com), Ralph Tye and Sons (Brian Tye, bryan.rtands@gmail.com), and Salmon Mechanical (Zac Schwitzer, zac@salmonmechanical.com). Attendance at a mandatory bidders meeting is a condition of participation.

The scope requires installation of a new 2-ton ductless split system in the IT Room with roof-mounted outdoor unit, indoor unit, thermostat, line set, and condensate tie-in; system startup and commissioning. The project also includes removal and replacement of the existing water heater, relocation of the pump to an accessible location, and rebuild of the PRV station. General plumbing work occurs during regular hours; the PRV station rebuild is scheduled after hours. All electrical work must comply with NEC standards. Welding is prohibited on the roof and must be performed in the parking lot or shop. All existing line sets and electrical lines must be replaced with new installations except at equipment connection points. Detailed technical specifications and construction drawings are provided in the approved plans document.

The construction cost estimate is $20,000.00. A Limited Asbestos Inspection and Lead-Based Paint Survey (June 2026) found no asbestos-containing materials, no lead-based paint in affected areas, and no universal, hazardous, or toxic wastes that would impact the project. Contractors must cease work and notify DFCM immediately if they discover suspect materials not included in the survey.
