DFCM Construction - Prequalified General Stage II - Department of Veterans and Military Affairs- Cemetery Committal Shelter- Project #27242490

The State of Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) is soliciting Stage II bids on behalf of the Department of Veterans and Military Affairs for a new cemetery committal shelter under Project #27242490, with a mandatory meeting on November 9, 2026 at 1:00 PM. Only contractors prequalified under Stage I and currently listed on the DFCM Prequalified Contractors list as of the solicitation date are eligible to bid.

The project is a single-story committal shelter of approximately 6,000 square feet and 16 feet high at 17111 S Camp Williams Road, Bluffdale, Utah. It uses concrete block and steel framing with a standing-seam metal roof and concrete flooring, and includes electrical work and minor landscaping and irrigation modifications. The contractor must provide winter-weather accommodations, such as concrete blankets, tenting, and heaters as necessary, and special inspections for concrete, reinforcing steel, and masonry under ACI 318-19 and TMS 602-22. Work must comply with the 2024 International Building Code, the 2023 National Electrical Code, and ADA guidelines.

The construction cost estimate is $765,000. Substantial completion is due April 30, 2027, with liquidated damages of $750 per day. Bidders must post a bid bond of 5% of the bid on AIA Document A310-2010. Upon award, the contractor must furnish performance and payment bonds on AIA Document A312-2010 at 100% of the contract sum within ten business days of contract receipt. The award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The health insurance statement of compliance does not apply because the contract is below the $2,000,000 prime contractor threshold. Performance on this project will be evaluated and may affect the contractor's prequalified status and eligibility for future DFCM contracts.

Key dates: questions are due November 12, 2026 at 3:00 PM, addenda by November 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM, and bids through the U3P website by November 24, 2026 at 3:00 PM.
