2026 2000 S Storm Drain Project

The City of Orem is seeking bids for the installation of 1,415 lineal feet of 48-inch reinforced concrete pipe storm drain with five 72-inch diameter storm drain manholes along 2000 South from Geneva Road to approximately 600 West in Orem, Utah. The solicitation, numbered 25-044, was posted on May 27, 2026, with bids due by June 11, 2026, at 2:00 PM, and must be submitted either electronically through the Bonfire portal or as sealed physical copies to the City’s Engineering Division. The project requires full compliance with all contract documents, including detailed technical specifications, approved shop drawings, and applicable industry standards, with work to be completed by September 19, 2026, unless extended through a formal change order. The contract is structured as a fixed-price arrangement with no explicit ceiling value, though pricing is incomplete in the bid schedule except for a $10,000 allowance for compaction testing, and award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all responsiveness and qualification criteria. Bidders must demonstrate financial and technical responsibility by submitting a bid bond, providing certificates of insurance meeting minimum coverage requirements—including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers Compensation, and Excess/Umbrella Liability—with the City named as an additional insured and insurers required to hold an A.M. Best rating of A-:VII or better. Contractors must also furnish performance and payment bonds upon award, obtain all necessary permits, comply with wage rate regulations, and adhere to a subcontracting limitation of no more than 50% of the contract value without prior written approval. All work must conform to manufacturer instructions, and material substitutions require engineer approval to ensure identical function and appearance. The City retains unrestricted rights to inspect work, materials, and records at any time, and bidders must certify compliance with federal, state, and local laws, as well as bid independence. The project also requires a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and adherence to proper trenching, backfilling, and compaction standards, with final acceptance contingent upon certification of substantial completion by the City Engineer.
