7800 S & 5490 W Roundabout Intersection Environmental Clearance

The City of West Jordan is seeking qualified professional consulting engineering firms to undertake the environmental clearance process for the 7800 South and 5490 West Roundabout Intersection project. The primary task involves preparing and obtaining a Categorical Exclusion (CatEx) environmental clearance, which will enable the use of federal funds for constructing a two-lane roundabout on 7800 South, with single through lanes at 5490 West. The selected firm will coordinate with the City, Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), and other agencies to assess environmental impacts, analyze resources, and secure necessary permits. The contract, valued between approximately $50,000 and $200,000, will be awarded based on a response to the solicitation posted on the Utah Public Procurement Place, with bids due by December 9, 2025, and questions due by December 2, 2025. The contract duration extends until the environmental clearance study is accepted by the City. The contractual framework incorporates a set of custom clauses outlined in the standard terms and conditions, covering scope of work, insurance, dispute resolution, termination, and indemnification, among others. These clauses include provisions for insurance coverage, indemnity obligations, and compliance with applicable laws, including the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). The agreement emphasizes the contractor’s independent status, responsibility for insurance, and adherence to ethical standards, including certifications regarding illegal gratuities and participation in economic boycotts of Israel. Deliverables focus on the completion of environmental studies, permit acquisition, and submission of comprehensive documentation, with performance inspections conducted by the City within 30 days of service completion. The award will likely follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approach, prioritizing responsiveness and responsibility without explicit weighting of technical factors. Proposal submissions must be made electronically via Bonfire, adhering to specified formatting and confidentiality requirements, with no fixed page limits but strict instructions to submit exceptions separately if needed. Overall, the project aims to facilitate a critical transportation improvement through environmentally compliant planning and permitting, with clear contractual and procedural guidelines established for the selected firm.
