All work must comply with the DFCM High Performance Building Standard. The site is the lower-level basement boiler room at 20 East 500 North, Salt Lake City, with access via freight elevator (4,500-pound capacity, 4-foot by 7-foot door). Work is restricted to normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The University must receive one week's advance notice of any activities affecting operations or utility interruptions.

The construction cost estimate is $351,000. Substantial completion is required by November 18, 2026, with liquidated damages set at $300 per day. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 5, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at the Capitol Complex Central Utility Plant Entrance.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Upon completion, contractors must maintain a performance rating of 4.0 or greater to retain prequalified status.
