DFCM Construction-Palisades Park Culinary Water Storage Tank Construction-18017510

The Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) is soliciting bids for the Palisades Park Culinary Water Storage Tank Construction project (DFCM Project No. 18017510), a standard low bid procurement for water infrastructure improvements in Sterling, Utah. The project scope encompasses constructing a 40,000-gallon concrete culinary water storage tank with associated piping, valves, and appurtenances, including approximately 250 linear feet of 6" PVC C900 pipe to enhance water flow to campsites. Bidders must submit prerequisite documentation including a subcontractor's list, bid bond, and specific business information, with the contract to be awarded on a lump sum basis. The bid solicitation opened on August 16, 2017, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting required for potential bidders, and proposals were due by September 12, 2017, at 3:00 PM MST. Evaluation will focus on low bid pricing, with bidders required to meet specific technical and procedural requirements outlined in the solicitation documents. The project contact is Denise Austin, and bidders must adhere to detailed specifications for industrial building construction services, facilities sitework, and maintenance services.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The solicitation appears to be open to standard commercial contractors capable of performing municipal water infrastructure construction. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the project involves improving existing park water infrastructure with a new storage tank and piping system. The commodity codes suggest the project falls within industrial construction and facilities maintenance services. Though a precise budget range was not specified, the project involves constructing a 40,000-gallon water storage tank and associated piping, which implies a substantial capital investment typical of municipal infrastructure projects. Potential bidders should note the project includes specific requirements for completion date and potential liquidated damages, which would be critical considerations in developing a competitive bid proposal.
