Pack Creek Pedestrian Bridge Replacement and Channel Restoration Project

The Pack Creek Pedestrian Bridge Replacement and Channel Restoration Project involves the complete reconstruction of a pedestrian bridge and comprehensive restoration of the surrounding channel system to mitigate erosion hazards. The scope includes removal of sediment and debris from the creek, excavation of deposits in main and tributary channels and overbank areas, installation of a concrete apron along the channel bottom and banks to protect bridge abutments, placement of riprap downstream of three existing culverts, and erosion control measures along the entire Pack Creek corridor. All labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary for execution must be furnished by the contractor in full compliance with the project plans and specifications, which reference industry standards such as ACI, ASTM, and AWS for materials and workmanship. The project is located in Moab, Utah, and performance must occur entirely at the designated site, with all materials delivered ready for use and stored under controlled conditions to prevent damage, as per manufacturer requirements and environmental protection protocols. Bids are due by September 1, 2026, and must be submitted electronically via the Utah State Procurement Portal. The contract will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, meaning that only responsive and responsible bidders who meet all technical requirements will be considered, with selection based solely on the lowest evaluated price. Evaluation considers bid responsiveness, bidder responsibility, use of alternates, and time of substantial completion, with liquidated damages applied for delays. The contractor is solely responsible for all inspections, testing, quality control, and correction of nonconforming work, with oversight provided by Bowen, Collins and Associates as the reviewing engineer. Payment applications are submitted monthly and reviewed by the engineer, though no specific payment office, invoicing system, or federal accounting codes are provided. Key compliance obligations include participation in E-Verify for employment verification and submittal of a detailed quality control plan and approved shop drawings. All submissions must adhere to specified file formats, and no formal FAR clauses or section J attachments are included in the documentation, indicating an EJCDC-based construction contract format rather than a traditional federal acquisition structure.
