SLCC CT Classroom Remodel 020 090

Salt Lake Community College is soliciting bids through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the construction remodel of Rooms CT020 and CT090 in the Construction Trades Building at the Redwood Campus in Taylorsville, Utah. The project scope encompasses selective demolition of existing walls, ceilings, flooring, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems, followed by installation of new gypsum board assemblies, acoustical ceilings, resilient flooring, carpet tiles, interior painting, reconfigured HVAC systems with VAV boxes, electrical system upgrades including new lighting fixtures and fire alarm devices, and restoration of finishes to code-compliant conditions. The project manual and bid set drawings dated January 12, 2026, establish comprehensive specifications requiring compliance with 2021 International Building Code, 2021 International Mechanical Code, 2021 International Plumbing Code, 2021 International Fire Code, 2021 International Electrical Code, and 2023 National Electrical Code standards. Bidders must submit separate line item bids for each classroom, though a single contract will be awarded to the lowest combined bidder; a mandatory pre-bid site meeting and inspection is scheduled for Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at 8:30 a.m., with failure to attend resulting in bid disqualification. Electronic bids must be submitted through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) website by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, with contract award anticipated for Monday, March 2, 2026, a pre-construction meeting scheduled for Monday, April 6, 2026, and substantial completion required by Monday, August 3, 2026, representing a 130-day project timeline. All bids must include a bid bond equal to five percent of the bid amount on AIA Document A310-2010 or equivalent, with the successful bidder required to furnish a performance bond and payment bond on AIA Document A312-2010 for one hundred percent of the contract sum; liquidated damages are assessed at $350.00 per day for delays beyond the completion date.

The solicitation does not identify any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting bidder eligibility based on disadvantaged enterprise status, minority ownership, or other organizational classifications. All qualified vendors meeting Utah state licensing requirements for themselves and their subcontractors may respond; however, the apparent two lowest bidders must provide a subcontractors list within 24 hours of request for all subcontracts exceeding $2,000. The contract structure is a single-prime stipulated-sum agreement with no identified incumbent vendors, and bidders must demonstrate comprehensive liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and employer's liability of at least $2,000,000, along with comprehensive automobile liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $2,000,000 aggregate. The construction cost estimate for the combined project is $245,000, with monthly payment to be made at 95 percent of the value of labor and materials in place, subject to five percent retainage in accordance with Utah Code 13-8-5. SLCC reserves the right to reject any or all bids, waive technicalities or formalities, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder provided the bid is reasonable and in the College's best interest; pricing is guaranteed for ninety days from the bid close date, and a fully executed Purchase Order or contract—not merely notification of award—constitutes a binding agreement.
