This Invitation to Bid (ITB) requires pre-qualified Stage I contractors to demolish three existing return air fans and replace them with fan walls in three existing air handlers, while also updating air handling unit (AHU) controls. The project will be completed in three sequential stages, with work progressing one level at a time, and contractors can begin construction as soon as equipment becomes available, without being restricted to summer break timing. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit is scheduled for January 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM MST, located at the UVU Parking Services/Facilities Building. Bidding will open on January 23, 2025, at 3:00 PM MST and close on February 18, 2025, at 3:00 PM MST, with all interested contractors required to create an account and sign in to the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) website to access bidding documents.

Only pre-qualified firms from Stage I of the Request for Solicitation (RFS) process are eligible to participate in this procurement opportunity. The construction cost estimate for the project is $525,000, and the project is classified under multiple commodity codes including 99901 (DFCM Division), 72120 (Nonresidential building construction), and 72151 (Electrical system services including HVAC). No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capabilities in mechanical systems upgrades, air handling unit modifications, and control system integration. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure they meet the pre-qualification requirements before submitting their proposals through the U3P platform.
