PROVO CITY – Fort Utah Park Improvements RFB

Provo City is soliciting sealed bids for the Fort Utah Park Improvements project located at 200 North Geneva Road in Provo, Utah, under solicitation number PR2026001035. The project involves comprehensive site enhancements including demolition, grading, excavation, concrete and hardscape construction, asphalt paving, curb and gutter replacement, retaining walls, walkways, parking lot upgrades, utility and drainage systems, site furnishings, masonry, landscaping, and irrigation. All work must comply with ASTM, AASHTO, APWA, and UDOT standards, as well as OSHA safety regulations. The project requires strict adherence to precision surveying methods, specifically mandating total-station surveying and prohibiting GPS for critical layout and grading tasks. Subcontractors and laborers involved in specialized trades such as irrigation, buried electrical installations, and HDPE or PVC piping must hold valid certifications from approved providers, and these credentials must be submitted at least 30 days before work begins. The evaluation process prioritizes technical merit over price, with award based on a trade-off method that assigns 40% weight to proven experience in similar park, trail, parking lot, and public restroom construction, 30% to the quality and detail of the proposed work plan and schedule control, 10% to the quality and justification of proposed materials or alternates, and 20% to the bid price. Contractors must submit a complete proposal not exceeding 15 pages, including a non-collusion affidavit, immigration status certification, three references of comparable projects, material source information, and a detailed work plan. Warranties and guarantees must be submitted separately in .pdf format. A performance bond is required, and failure to submit it after award may result in contract termination. The contract includes provisions for liquidated damages of $1,000 per calendar day for delays, written change orders for any scope adjustments exceeding 25% of the original value, and the right to issue stop-work orders for weather-related conditions. All inspections and acceptances occur on-site, and the City’s representative, John Bunderson, serves as the primary point of contact for administrative and contractual matters, though no formal Contracting Officer is named. Proposals must be delivered physically to Provo City Parks & Recreation Department by the deadline of August 7, 2026, and no electronic submission is accepted for the main package.
