RFI-#01-VW Building Commission Service Request for Information

The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking comprehensive insights about building commissioning services for a significant renovation project at 2320 South 800 West. The project involves transforming an existing building into a training facility spanning approximately 19,000 square feet, which will include office, conference room, classroom, and shop spaces, with construction ongoing until August 2026. This RFI represents a market research initiative, not a formal solicitation, aimed at gathering detailed information about building commissioning services, including their typical roles, time commitments, on-site requirements, and team compositions. Interested parties are encouraged to provide general information about their services and budgetary cost ranges, with responses due by October 6, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. local time through the Bonefire portal. UTA specifically seeks to understand the potential benefits and value of incorporating building commissioning services, as they have never previously contracted with such a service provider.

The RFI does not appear to have specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, and no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned. All submitted responses will be considered public records under the State of Utah Records Access Management Act, and UTA reserves the right to communicate with or interview respondents for additional market research purposes. While no specific budget range is provided, the RFI emphasizes that respondents should submit general cost estimates and standard pricing history, with an explicit warning against providing detailed, customized pricing documentation. The agency's primary goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of building commissioning services and their potential value for future projects. Respondents are expected to provide transparent, informative responses that help UTA evaluate the potential integration of such services into their renovation and construction initiatives. The non-binding nature of the RFI suggests that UTA is in an exploratory phase of understanding market capabilities and potential service offerings.
