DFCM Construction - Prequalified General Stage II - Department of Natural Resources- Division of Wildlife Resources- Mammoth Creek Hatchery Improvements - Project #27087520

The State of Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management is requesting bids for remodeling and upgrades to the Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery facility under Stage II prequalified competitive bidding, with bids due September 22, 2026. Only contractors currently listed on the DFCM Prequalified Contractors list as of the solicitation date are eligible to bid — prequalification under Stage I is a hard eligibility gate, not a preference.

The project scope encompasses office upgrades with insulated windows and hollow metal doors, lighting modifications, generator replacement with downgraded electrical specifications (240V single-phase to 240V three-phase via NAPCCO Smart-Boost Phase Converter SB-60-EE-D3 or equal and 45 KVA step-down transformer), RV pad installation with concrete and utilities, mechanical system upgrades including rooftop and unit heater replacement, radon mitigation, and window replacements. No changes to building use, size, or occupant load are planned. The facility is located at 1318 South Fish Hatchery Road, Hatch, Utah. A hazmat survey identified no asbestos or lead in renovation areas but flagged 22 fluorescent light bulbs and one rooftop air-conditioning unit containing CFCs for licensed recycling. Contractors must verify existing electrical power and phasing prior to equipment ordering.

The construction cost estimate is $346,789.00. Addendum 001, issued August 25, 2026 (effective September 9, 2026), modified electrical design specifications for the generator and phase converter system; bidders must acknowledge receipt upon submission. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held September 1, 2026. Bid tabulation shows three bids received: New Wave Construction (lowest at $329,280.00 base + $10,500.00 alternate = $339,780.00), PRT BUILDERS LLC ($508,160.00), and JKL Construction Services, Inc. ($610,500.00). The project substantial completion date is November 26, 2026. Liquidated damages are $500.00 per day. All first-tier subcontractors with bid amounts of $20,000 or more must be listed within 24 hours of bid opening. General Conditions require Critical Path Method scheduling, comprehensive insurance, performance and payment bonds, and indemnification protecting the State of Utah.
