SLCo PAR127552 Fairmont Aquatics RTU Replacement - CONST

Salt Lake County Facilities Management is soliciting bids for Project PAR127552, a comprehensive Fairmont Aquatics Center rooftop unit (RTU) replacement project located at 1044 Sugarmont Drive in Salt Lake City, Utah. The procurement involves replacing four existing air handling units with new Daikin packaged rooftop units ranging from 1,650 CFM to 6,000 CFM, including associated mechanical, electrical, and architectural work. Key deliverables include installing new RTU-1 through RTU-4, upgrading gas line systems, installing VAV boxes with hot water connections, and completing ductwork transitions, all while coordinating with a separate ongoing re-roofing project. Bidders must hold a minimum B-100 Utah State Department of Commerce license and demonstrate experience with HVAC system replacements in government facilities. A mandatory site visit is scheduled, and bids must be submitted through the Online Solicitation System (utah.bonfirehub.com) by February 5, 2026. The contract requires 100 calendar days for completion following the Notice to Proceed, with a liquidated damages charge of $200 per calendar day for missed deadlines. Evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bid, considering the base bid and prioritized alternates within the construction budget.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though projects exceeding $3,000,000 must comply with Salt Lake County Ordinance sections on Apprenticeship Utilization and Construction Procurement Minimum Standards. Contractors must employ apprentices for at least 10% of labor hours within each trade and provide employees with qualified health insurance and safety programs. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires integration with existing heating systems serving the 1,021-person occupant load facility. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond and, upon award, performance and payment bonds at 100% of the contract value. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications, which include detailed mechanical, electrical, and control system requirements, suggest a substantial project investment. Contractors must also provide one year of warranty coverage from the date of substantial completion, including all necessary adjustments and modifications at no additional cost.
