The solicitation identifies no set-aside, and architect teams must maintain an office location within Salt Lake County.

The County intends to hire an Architectural/Engineering Team to serve as Architect of Record for a renovation that converts the existing MAT system into a fully certified Opioid Treatment Program compliant with SAMHSA and DEA regulations. Scope covers programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, construction administration, project closeout, and a one-year warranty period. All drawings must use AutoCAD or Revit in compliance with National CAD Standards. Architects and subcontractors must clear background checks, drug and alcohol screening, and random testing for the secured detention facility. Required insurance includes professional liability of $3,000,000 per occurrence with a $5,000,000 aggregate, commercial general liability of $3,000,000 per occurrence with a $4,000,000 aggregate, and workers' compensation.

The fee is a fixed 10.5% of total construction cost, calculated against an initial construction budget of $1,533,911, producing a fixed fee of $198,861 unless a proposer submits a lower fee. The fee covers all compensation, reimbursable expenses, travel, communications, printing, and miscellaneous costs. Payments are distributed across five phases: Programming and Schematic Design (20%), Design Development (25%), Construction Documents (25%), Bidding and Construction Administration (25%), and Warranty and Project Documentation (5%). The anticipated notice to proceed is January 2027, with construction phases from March through October 2027 and final completion on November 5, 2027.
