What Salt Lake City Corporation is buying
Salt Lake City Corporation is looking to pre-qualify prime contractors for the remodel of the Old Salt Lake City Main Library. This is an opportunity for construction firms to establish their credentials and be considered for future phases of this project.
Pre-qualification means the city will review your company's experience, capabilities, and financial standing now, so that if you are selected, you will be eligible to bid on the actual remodel work later. This process helps the city identify qualified firms upfront.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting your pre-qualification response is September 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. All submissions must be completed by this time.
After the deadline, Salt Lake City Corporation will review all submitted pre-qualification packages to determine which prime contractors meet their requirements for the library remodel project.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for experienced prime contractors in the construction industry, particularly those with a background in large-scale building remodels or historical renovations. The project falls under the education category, likely due to the library's function.
Firms with a strong track record in similar projects and the capacity to handle a significant remodel should consider responding. The reference number for this solicitation is FAC25013.
