DFCM Construction - Prequalified Electrical Stage II - Davis Technical College - Electrical Transformer and Panel Replacement - Phase 1 - Project #27048220

The State of Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) is requesting bids under Stage II Invitation to Bid for electrical transformer and panel replacement at Davis Technical College, with bids due October 29, 2026. Eligibility is restricted to contractors prequalified under DFCM's Stage I Prequalification for Contractors process and currently listed on the DFCM Prequalified Contractors list as of the solicitation date — this is a hard set-aside that filters the bidder pool.

The scope encompasses demolition and replacement of selected transformers (75 kVA to 300 kVA) and electrical distribution panels throughout the main building at 550 E 300 S, Kaysville, Utah. Work includes existing circuit tracing and labeling, protection and reuse of existing branch circuits where feasible, temporary cooling provisions during panel replacement, seismic bracing of all equipment, concrete housekeeping pads, and restoration of finishes including flooring, carpet, walls, and ceilings. Two add alternates are included for replacement of main distribution panels MDP-1 and MDP-2. All work must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC), International Building Code (IBC), NFPA standards, and International Fire Code (IFC), subject to on-site field inspection approval by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

The construction cost estimate is $300,000. The project is phased and coordinated with a concurrent Daycare Remodel project. The building will remain fully occupied during construction, requiring strict coordination to minimize operational conflicts, maintain existing exits, and preserve access to walkways and occupied facilities.

Contractors must submit a Subcontractors List Form, a Health Insurance Statement of Compliance Form, and detailed submittals in electronic PDF format with indexed equipment sections. The contract requires Critical Path Method scheduling using Primavera, MS Project, or Phoenix software and monthly schedule updates. Contractors must provide performance and payment bonds and maintain comprehensive liability insurance including Builder's Risk coverage. All contractor personnel must provide identification tags and comply with drug screening requirements and tobacco and controlled-substance prohibitions within the existing building.
