Salt Lake County's Facilities Management Division is soliciting competitive sealed bids for construction services to replace air handling units (RTUs) at the Holladay Lions Recreation Center located at 1661 E Murray Holladay Road, Millcreek, Utah (Project PAR129713). The procurement involves the demolition and replacement of existing rooftop RTU-5 and RTU-6 units with new equipment, including installation of new curbs, utilities, ductwork, diffusers, mechanical systems, plumbing connections, gas piping, electrical systems, and coordination with a concurrent re-roofing project. Deliverables include nine rooftop York packaged units ranging from 3 to 12.5 tons capacity with two-stage natural gas heating, R454B refrigerant, BACnet/MSTP controls, condensate pumps, and a humidifier, all designed for high-altitude operation at 4,500 feet elevation and meeting current code requirements including IBC 2018, IMC 2018, ASME, ASHRAE, and NFPA standards. All equipment must be new with one-year manufacturer warranties, and contractors must obtain permits, conduct 30 days of test operations, provide equipment startup and commissioning supervised by manufacturer representatives, and deliver training to owner personnel. Required qualifications include a minimum B-100 contractor license from the Utah State Department of Commerce, five years of experience completing specialized RTU replacement projects without surety or owner intervention, successful completion of commercial or government projects within the last five years, and provision of minimum three professional references demonstrating relevant experience with occupied facility construction. The bid submission deadline is April 16, 2026, with bids valid for 60 days after opening and evaluation based on lowest responsive and responsible bidder criteria. Bidders must submit an Offer and Cover Summary, Schedule of Values, and Bid Bond (5% of bid amount) through the Online Solicitation System, with subcontractor lists required within 24 hours of county request. The contract duration is 240 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with a mandatory punch list walk no later than 14 days before contract expiration and liquidated damages of $1,200 per calendar day for delays, including delays caused by COVID-19 and supply chain disruptions.

The county does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting organizational types; however, contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability insurance with a minimum of $4,000,000 per occurrence, performance bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price, builder's risk insurance covering 100 percent of the contract amount, and workers' compensation insurance. For projects exceeding $3,000,000, contractors must ensure minimum 10 percent of labor hours within each trade are performed by apprentices and must provide qualified health insurance coverage and maintain drug and alcohol testing policies. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents; however, the contractor must coordinate with the separate re-roofing contractor and integrate all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural work into existing facility systems while maintaining building operations. The contract includes specific change order procedures with markup limitations of 15 percent for changes up to $20,000 and 10 percent for amounts exceeding that threshold. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents; however, the Schedule of Values document establishes provisions for a base bid and three alternate bids (Alternates 1, 2, and 3) plus additional alternates designated as B and C, with alternates prioritized sequentially to the construction budget amount. The County retains the right to reject any or all bids and reserves authority to conduct further investigation into proposer qualifications and past performance claims.
