Lehi City’s mission centers on advancing public infrastructure and community resilience through strategic investments in transportation, water systems, and public spaces. The agency prioritizes the development and maintenance of critical civic assets—including highways, bridges, sewage treatment facilities, and irrigation networks—to support sustainable urban growth and public safety. Recent initiatives reflect a commitment to integrated planning, with emphasis on masterplans for parks, trails, and cemetery expansions, as well as modernization of water and sewer infrastructure using innovative techniques like pipe lining and pressurized meter installations. Environmental planning and landscape design are core to enhancing livability, with recurring procurement of engineering, architectural, and environmental consulting services to guide long-term development.
The agency predominantly procures construction and professional services tied to civil infrastructure, with frequent use of request for bids (RFBs) and request for proposals (RFPs) to secure design-build and construction management services. Contract structures favor performance-based outcomes, particularly for projects requiring technical expertise in utility rehabilitation, site preparation, and public works construction. Solicitations are typically open competitions without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences.
Primary procurement targets include Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction; Sewage Treatment Facilities; Engineering Services; and Landscape Architectural Services. The agency also engages specialized contractors for site preparation, landscaping, and industrial equipment procurement, reflecting a diversified but infrastructure-centric vendor base. Vendor selection emphasizes proven experience in municipal civil works, with preference for firms capable of delivering complex, multi-phase projects under tight public oversight.
Lehi City operates as a municipal entity within the state of Utah, managing local infrastructure and public works independently under its own procurement authority. It does not report to a state-level department for operational oversight. The agency utilizes standard public bidding vehicles—including RFBs, RFPs, and RFQs—to procure goods and services across construction, engineering, and environmental planning disciplines, ensuring transparency and competitive sourcing for all capital projects.
