Corrosion Engineering Services

The contract for corrosion engineering services issued by the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy seeks a qualified consultant to perform comprehensive corrosion mitigation activities over a five-year period. The scope includes conducting annual and quinquennial cathodic protection surveys, corrosion studies, testing, evaluations, and procurement related to infrastructure protection. The agreement is structured as a professional services contract, with the contract term extending from the date of signing through June 30, 2030, allowing for multiple task orders as needed. The work is to be performed primarily at Metro Water facilities in Utah, with deliverables including detailed technical reports, plans, specifications, and signed and sealed engineering data. The contract emphasizes adherence to professional standards, security protocols, and compliance with all applicable laws, but does not specify fixed pricing or quantities, leaving costs to be negotiated post-selection. Selection will be based on a weighted evaluation of the firm and team experience (40%), firm qualifications (35%), past project performance (20%), and overall proposal quality (5%). The process involves submitting a detailed Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) via the Utah Public Procurement Place by October 28, 2025, with no cost or price data included at this stage. The contract includes specific clauses governing law (Utah law), termination rights, indemnification, security and confidentiality protocols, and restrictions on subcontracting or assignment without prior approval. It does not incorporate federal FAR clauses but is governed by a custom professional services agreement, which details insurance requirements, security measures, personnel commitments, and property rights. The agreement emphasizes that all submitted materials become property of Metro Water, and the contractor must maintain records for one year after final payment, with no explicit mention of federal procurement classifications or socioeconomic certifications.
