A mandatory bidder's meeting is scheduled for October 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM at the UCCU Event Center loading dock; attendance is required to bid. This is a low-bid procurement with no set-asides or preferences stated.

The scope involves turnkey modernization of one existing hydraulic passenger elevator (State ID E-3797) serving four floors. Key deliverables include replacement of the microprocessor controller, power unit, car and hall doors with two-speed center-opening mechanisms, high-speed linear door operator, LED signal fixtures, digital position indicators, 3D safety-edge door protection, electronic communication system with self-dialing distress capability, firefighters' Phase I and II service with battery standby, card reader provisions, and independent service features. Additional work includes slide-guide replacement, car-top inspection stations, hoistway wiring with 10 percent spare capacity, and jack packing repacking. All elevator components must be non-proprietary and serviceable by any journeyman elevator mechanic without proprietary codes, tools, or software. As-built wiring diagrams and OEM tools or software must be provided upon installation commencement. The contractor must perform a five-year full-load test witnessed by a state elevator inspector and provide one-year warranty with daytime callback service Monday through Friday. All work must comply with ASME A17.1 and A17.2, NEC, ADA, and applicable local fire and building codes.

The construction cost estimate is $250,000.00 with substantial completion by March 12, 2027. Liquidated damages are $500.00 per day for delays beyond substantial completion. A bid bond of 5% on AIA Document A310-2010 or equivalent must accompany the bid. Bid prices must remain firm for 90 days from the quotation due date. For projects under $500,000, all first-tier subcontractors with bid amounts of $20,000 or more must be listed with license numbers. An asbestos survey dated August 27, 2026 identified no asbestos-containing materials in the elevator. Contractors must obtain necessary permits from the Utah Division of Air Quality and Utah Department of Environmental Quality and certify compliance with forced-labor and restricted-foreign-entity requirements under Utah Code 63G-6a-121. Questions are due October 21, 2026, with addenda posted by October 28, 2026.
