DFCM Construction - Prequalified Mechanical Stage II - Department of Natural Resources- State Parks- Otter Creek Maintenance HVAC - Project #27134510

The State of Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) is requesting bids under Stage II Invitation to Bid for mechanical HVAC work at Otter Creek Maintenance facility, operated by the Department of Natural Resources–State Parks in Antimony, Utah, with bids due October 13, 2026 at 3:00 PM. Only contractors prequalified under Stage I Prequalification and currently listed on the DFCM Prequalified Contractors list as of the solicitation date are eligible to bid—a restrictive eligibility gate that filters the competitive field to vetted mechanical contractors.

The scope involves removing an existing roof-mounted swamp cooler and unit heater, then installing a new split-system propane furnace with split condensing unit, ductwork, refrigerant and gas piping, and a 7-day programmable thermostat with auto-changeover. Approved plans specify a Trane 5TXC+S9X1D furnace/cooling coil unit with 1,995 CFM capacity and a Trane 5TTR3060A1 condensing unit with 60,000 Btu/h cooling load using R-454B refrigerant. Work must comply with 2024 International Mechanical Code and International Plumbing Code with Utah annotations. The contractor must coordinate with DFCM-approved electrical and roofing contractors and retain a licensed Test & Balance contractor for full testing and balance documentation. An asbestos inspection report dated August 21, 2026 identified all samples as non-detectable for asbestos-containing materials in areas to be disturbed.

The construction cost estimate is $70,600. Substantial completion is June 30, 2027, with liquidated damages assessed at $50 per day for delay beyond that date. A mandatory prebid meeting is scheduled for September 30, 2026 at 12:30 PM at the project site; attendance is required for bid eligibility. Questions close October 6, 2026 at 3:00 PM, with addenda issued by October 8. All bidders must submit a DFCM Subcontractors List Form identifying all first-tier subcontractors with bid amounts of $20,000 or more within 24 hours of bid opening. A 5 percent bid bond is required. The Health Insurance Statement of Compliance Form does not apply as the contract amount is below $2 million.
