Portable fold and roll riser system

Salt Lake County Contracts and Procurement, acting on behalf of the Salt Palace Convention Center, has issued a Request for Bids (RFB) for a portable fold and roll riser system through the Utah Public Procurement Place. The procurement seeks to acquire 20 riser systems with specific technical requirements, including a minimum load capacity of 125 lbs. per square foot, a frame constructed of 1" x 3" x 16 Ga. tubular steel, 5/8" exterior grade plywood deck, and an industrial grade gray carpet surface. The riser systems must meet the STAGERIGHT FR-2400 series support system specifications or provide an equivalent alternative. The bid was officially opened on March 8, 2017, with a closing date of March 20, 2017, and bids were to remain sealed until the closing time. Evaluation criteria will focus on identifying the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with total cost considerations including delivery charges and shipping (FOB Destination, Freight Pre-Paid). Bidders are required to complete a comprehensive price schedule, provide legal supplier information, confirm specification compliance, upload vendor management forms, and submit contact details.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with Salt Lake County's environmental and vendor requirements, and the procurement includes a mandatory one-year warranty covering all parts and labor. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the procurement involves 20 riser systems with precise technical specifications. The bid requires vendors to demonstrate full compliance with the technical requirements and provide comprehensive pricing information. Potential vendors must be prepared to meet the strict technical specifications, provide the required documentation, and ensure their riser systems can be delivered and installed to meet the Salt Palace Convention Center's event infrastructure needs. The procurement appears to be a standard competitive bidding process open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical and administrative requirements outlined in the solicitation.
