DFCM Construction-Dee Events Center MEP Upgrade-Multi-Step Single Project-23137810

Background
The State of Utah - Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) is requesting bids for the construction of the Dee Events Center MEP Upgrade project at Weber State University. The project aims to modernize the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in the building to extend its life for another 30 years. This includes compliance with the University’s Master Plan of electrification using hybrid variable refrigerant volume systems (VRF) where applicable to reduce site emissions.

The project also involves combining four fan rooms into two to serve the arena, converting ancillary spaces to VRF, replacing plumbing, fire protection, lighting and electrical throughout the building, and converting two of the four existing fan rooms into lounges or similar high-value spaces. Additionally, a ground source borefield is expected to be installed as part of the project. The estimated construction cost is $18,500,000.00.
