Herriman Animal Shelter – Reconstruction of Old Fire Station 103

Herriman City is requesting proposals for programming, schematic design, and site test fit services for the reconstruction of Old Fire Station 103 into an animal shelter, with proposals due May 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the Utah Public Procurement Place. The City reserves the option to continue with the selected proposer or to solicit separate RFPs for design development, construction documents, and construction administration.

The scope involves conversion of a 3,600-square-foot existing facility (1,500 square feet finished interior, 2,100 square feet garage/warehouse) at 5916 West Herriman Main Street into a full-function animal shelter with animal housing, basic medical care, adoption services, and administrative offices. Design must address specialized infrastructure including sewer and plumbing reconfiguration, electrical upgrades, enhanced air filtration and climate controls, alarm and camera systems, sound and odor mitigation, outdoor kennels with masonry enclosure, and animal crematorium. Proposers must demonstrate relevant experience with at least three similar-sized construction or remodel projects, with emphasis on animal shelters or municipal buildings.

Proposals are evaluated on weighted criteria: Proposed Project Team Organization and Qualifications (25%), Cost (30%), Responsiveness and Past Performance (15%), Team Roles and Responsibilities (15%), and Proposed Project Schedule (15%). Submissions must not exceed four pages and include all-inclusive costs organized by discipline on a separate cost sheet. Key personnel assigned to the project must be actively engaged and cannot be changed without City approval.

The final request for clarification is due May 21, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.; final addenda will be issued by May 26, 2026. The City anticipates notice of award by July 6, 2026, notice to proceed by July 13, 2026, and completion of services by January 25, 2027. All submissions become public records under the Government Record Access Management Act.
