Timpanogos High School Metal Shop Equipment

Alpine School District issued Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. ASD05012026DS on April 23, 2026, seeking sealed bids from qualified vendors for the supply and delivery of metal shop equipment to Timpanogos High School in Utah County, Utah. The procurement encompasses thirteen pieces of welding and fume extraction equipment, specifically including Miller brand MIG/Pulsed MIG welders, Dynasty welders, and FILTAIR fume extraction systems in both single-arm and dual-arm configurations, with voltage specifications ranging from 115V to 208/240V single-phase applications. All equipment must be delivered to the Alpine School District Warehouse located at 490 North State Street in Lindon, Utah 84042, which is equipped with truck-level docks, forklifts, and pallet jacks to facilitate unloading. All pricing must include comprehensive shipping and handling costs as part of vendor quotations. The District will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder capable of supplying all items; however, if no single vendor can supply the complete equipment list, awards will be made on a line-item basis to the lowest responsible bidder for each individual item. Sealed bids must be submitted by Friday, May 1, 2026 at 2:00 PM Mountain Time through the U3P online system. To be considered responsive and responsible, bidders must comply with all prerequisites, buyer attachments, questions sections, and Alpine School District's non-negotiable Standard Terms and Conditions; any bid failing to comply will be deemed non-responsive and rejected.

No set-aside designations or restrictions specific to disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the solicitation documents. All vendors must certify compliance with anti-boycott provisions under Utah Code Annotated 63G-27 and confirm they are not providing forced labor products or utilizing restricted foreign entities as defined in UCA 63G-6a-121. The District emphasizes consistency with existing shop equipment throughout the district when selecting vendors and equipment specifications. Vendors are prohibited from communicating with Alpine School District staff or evaluation committee members except through the designated procurement officer. The District reserves the right to conduct discussions with responsive vendors, request best and final offers, require product samples at no charge unless otherwise stated, and conduct background checks or interviews as deemed necessary. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The cost sheet template provided shows all line items with zero pricing pending vendor quotations, with the Grand Total Cost field remaining blank; interested vendors should review the complete solicitation documents for specific equipment quantities and detailed specifications to prepare accurate bid submissions.
