Ifb - Pedestrian Bridges For City Trails And Parks

The City of St. George, Utah, is soliciting bids for the procurement and delivery of four prefabricated pedestrian bridges intended for city trails and parks, with an estimated project value ranging from 2 million to 5 million dollars. The project involves the complete design, fabrication, and delivery of steel truss bridges with spans of approximately 80 feet and widths of 10 feet, to be installed at specific locations including Middleton Wash Trail, Lizard Wash Park, Fort Pearce Wash Trail, and Santa Clara River Trail. Bidders are required to submit their proposals electronically by December 9, 2025, through the designated online portal, with the delivery deadline set for September 1, 2026. The bid schedule emphasizes that all bid items are deductible, allowing the owner, in consultation with the engineer, to remove items as necessary to stay within budget, with the lowest responsible bid determining the award. The contractual framework includes detailed specifications for materials, fabrication standards, and quality control measures, referencing industry standards such as AISC, AWS D1.1, ASTM F3125, and SSPC-SP7. Inspection and acceptance procedures specify that the manufacturer is responsible for quality assurance during fabrication, including weld inspections and nondestructive testing, with final acceptance contingent upon the City’s inspection at the project site. The contract clauses outline responsibilities related to title transfer, warranties, and infringement indemnity, with bonding requirements including bid, performance, and payment bonds. Evaluation criteria prioritize responsiveness and bidder responsibility, including proper licensing, relevant experience, and insurance compliance, with award based on the lowest price among qualified bidders. The procurement documents also specify that all proposals must include necessary bonds, certifications, and insurance certificates, with no explicit federal or security-specific clauses present, indicating a municipal-level construction project governed by local procurement policies.
