Bluff council picks Utah Window Experts for window replacement after cost review
Summary
Council accepted the low bid from Utah Window Experts ($12,984.03) for window replacement work on May 7, noting the town's $25,000 GOEO grant allocation and that two higher-cost bids were either incomplete or significantly more expensive.
Staff summarized three bids for window replacement and recommended Utah Window Experts as the best value. "Our 3 bids came in at the highest bid from TWS at 37,700, Clarity Glass at 36,500, and then Utah Window Experts at $12,984.03," staff said during the May 7 meeting.
The staff evaluation weighed cost heavily (40% of the score). Staff reported Clarity Glass submitted an incomplete packet (missing bid overview, approach, certifications and timeline) and therefore scored poorly. Utah Window Experts received the highest score based on completeness and cost; staff noted their website lists 20 years in business and a Utah license, and gave the firm a 95% score on evaluation criteria. Council members said they were comfortable approving the low, complete bid. The chair called the vote and the council approved the award to Utah Window Experts.
Why it matters: Approving the low, responsive bid preserves GOEO grant funds by keeping this line-item under the $25,000 allocation. Staff suggested the town is now in a better position to reallocate remaining grant funds toward other finishing work.
Next steps: Staff will finalize procurement paperwork and coordinate scheduling with the selected contractor.
