SLCo LIB125639 Draper Library HVAC Replacement - CONST

Salt Lake County is seeking bids for the Draper Library HVAC Replacement project (Bid #LIB125639), a comprehensive mechanical systems upgrade located at 1136 Pioneer Road in Draper, Utah. The procurement is a public works construction contract requiring contractors to remove existing split systems and install a new chiller and four-pipe air handling units (AHUs) according to detailed construction documents. Bidders must be registered contractors in Utah, holding at least a B-100 license from the Utah State Department of Commerce, and demonstrate experience with similar mechanical system replacements in government facilities. The project requires a 5% bid bond, and contractors must submit an Offer and Cover Summary, Schedule of Values, and other specified forms. Bid evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, considering the base bid and prioritized alternates up to the construction budget. The solicitation timeline includes a bid due date of November 20, 2025, with bids remaining valid for 60 calendar days after opening. Contractors will have 180 calendar days to complete the project upon receiving the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $200 per calendar day for delays.

No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly detailed in the documents, though the project will require compliance with Salt Lake County Ordinances if the project exceeds $3,000,000, which would mandate specific apprenticeship utilization requirements. Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating past performance, including successful completion of mechanical projects without owner interventions, relevant certifications (such as Nate or RSES in hydronics), and staff capabilities to complete the project within the specified timeframe. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project involves replacing existing infrastructure with a 20-ton air-cooled chiller, pump package, variable frequency drives, buffer tank, and new fan coils with cooling and heating capabilities. The project will require integration with existing electrical systems, including modifications to the current electrical panel and installation of new circuit breakers. Though a specific budget is not disclosed, the solicitation indicates the contract will be awarded based on the lowest combination of base bid and prioritized alternates within the established construction budget.
