The State of Utah's Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) is soliciting bids for an emergency roof replacement project at Southern Utah University in Cedar City. This Invitation for Bid (IFB) specifically targets the replacement of an SPM roof system with a wood framed taper system located at the SUU on 56 facility. The procurement is limited to firms that have been pre-qualified during Stage I of the Request for Services (RFS) process, indicating a selective bidding approach. Bid documents will be available on October 24, 2024, through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) website, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit scheduled for October 31, 2024. Sealed bids are due by November 14, 2024, at 3:00 PM Mountain Standard Time. The project encompasses roofing services including maintenance, repair, and installation, with associated commodity codes for nonresidential building construction services. The construction cost estimate for this project is $500,000, and the bid will be awarded in US Dollars, with funding provided directly by DFCM.

The procurement opportunity appears to be open only to pre-qualified roofing contractors, which suggests potential restrictions on new or smaller enterprises entering the bidding process. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses are mentioned in the documentation, the pre-qualification requirement serves as a significant barrier to entry. The project is funded by DFCM, indicating a state-level infrastructure investment. The scope of work involves a comprehensive roof system replacement, which implies potential requirements for specialized roofing expertise and technical capabilities. The total project budget of $500,000 represents a moderate-scale construction project that will require detailed technical specifications and compliance with state construction standards. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are explicitly outlined in the provided documentation. Interested bidders must carefully review the full bid package available through the U3P website and ensure they meet the pre-qualification criteria prior to submission.
