About this file
This Request for Proposals (RFP) document is issued by Tooele County, Utah Parks & Recreation Department for natural-surface trail construction services. The County seeks one qualified contractor to construct three singletrack trail segments totaling approximately 12,154 linear feet near Tooele, Utah. The three segments include Jaguar Trail (5,623 feet), Skyline Drive to Cassity Lane Connector (3,962 feet), and Middle Canyon Parking Connector (approximately 2,569 feet). Each segment requires a 48-inch native-soil tread with specified grades and outslope characteristics. The RFP was issued on September 15, 2026, with a submission deadline of September 29, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time via utah.bonfirehub.com. No pre-offer conference or site visit is scheduled, though offerors are responsible for obtaining necessary site information. The question deadline is September 21, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with anticipated County responses within two business days. The anticipated notice of intent to award is within seven days after the proposal deadline, with contract commencement anticipated after execution, required bonds and insurance, and written notice to proceed. The contract term extends from execution through final acceptance and the applicable warranty period, with time being of the essence and a preferred schedule including construction commencement in 2026.
Pricing shall be submitted separately using Attachment C as a fixed lump-sum price for each trail segment and a total project price, with all costs including labor, supervision, equipment, materials, mobilization, access, staging, permits, restoration, bonds, insurance, overhead, and profit. Offerors must also provide unit prices for imported aggregate, machine excavation, hand construction, rock armoring, and revegetation work, applicable only to expressly authorized work. The County is not anticipated to use federal funds for this procurement. Evaluation criteria allocate 60 points to technical merit—including relevant experience and past performance (20 points), technical approach to construction methods and quality control (20 points), qualifications and capacity of the proposed team (10 points), and proposed schedule and risk management (10 points)—and 40 points to price, with the lowest evaluated price receiving full points and other proposals receiving proportional points. A performance bond and payment bond, each in the amount of 100 percent of the awarded contract price, are required before work begins. Offers must remain valid for ninety calendar days after the submission deadline, and the successful offeror shall obtain required insurance, permits, licenses, and background checks before beginning performance.

Instructions to Offerors | 7 containing material exceptions or may consider exceptions during evaluation or negotiation when permitted by the procurement method.
The submission of an Offeror’s standard agreement, click-through terms, web terms, or licensing terms does not make those terms part of the Offer or Contract unless the County expressly accepts them in a signed Contract.
19. Responsiveness and Responsibility
The County may reject an Offer that is nonresponsive, including an Offer that is late, materially incomplete, unsigned when a signature is required, conditioned on unacceptable terms, or fails to comply with a material Solicitation requirement.
Before award, the County may determine whether the apparent successful Offeror is responsible. The
County may consider experience, performance history, integrity, financial and operational capacity, personnel, equipment, licenses, legal eligibility, and ability to meet the required schedule.

22. Interviews, Presentations, Demonstrations, and Site Visits
If conducted, the County may require key personnel identified in the Offer to participate and may prescribe a common format, time limit, agenda, or scenario to support a fair comparison.
23. Discussions, Negotiations, and Best and Final Offers
Offerors should submit their best terms initially. Participation in discussions or negotiations does not guarantee award. Any resulting agreement is subject to required County approvals and execution by authorized representatives.
24. Award
The Solicitation is expected to result in a single award to one Contractor for the complete project.
The anticipated contract type is fixed-price construction, with separate lump-sum prices for each trail segment and one total project price.
Award may include any or all optional renewal periods and alternates identified in the scope of work (if any).
Award is subject to applicable law, available funding, required approvals, and successful completion of any negotiations or responsibility review. A notice of intent to award, ranking, recommendation, or
County Council agenda item does not create a Contract or authorize performance. No Contract exists until it is executed by all required parties and, when applicable, approved by the County Council.
The County may accept or reject any or all Offers, reject an Offer in whole or in part, make an award in the County’s best interest as allowed by the procurement method, or cancel the Solicitation before award when the County determines cancellation is appropriate.
25. Notice and Debriefing
The County will provide notice of the procurement result via notice posted to the project portal. An unsuccessful Offeror may request a debriefing within five (5) business days of notice posting by contacting the Procurement Contact. A debriefing is intended to explain the evaluation of the requesting
Offeror’s submission and will not disclose another Offeror’s protected information.

Tooele County seeks one qualified trail-construction Contractor to furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, materials, transportation, mobilization, access coordination, safety measures, environmental protection, restoration, closeout, and incidental work necessary to construct three natural-surface singletrack trail segments near Tooele, Utah.
The work is performance-based within County-approved alignments. The Contractor shall use specialized trail-building judgment to respond to field conditions while preserving the required trail character, limits, grades, drainage performance, durability, and natural setting. No work may proceed outside the County-approved corridor or across property for which the County has not authorized access.
2 Contract Documents and Alignment Control
• Exhibit A1 - Tooele 2026 Trail Design Summary Report provides the design summary, approximate lengths, typical width, grades, outslope, property context, and conceptual mapping. Posted as a separate electronic solicitation attachment.
• Exhibit A2 - 2026 Trail Alignments.kml provides geospatial reference lines for the proposed alignments and shall be posted as a separate electronic solicitation attachment in its native KML format.
• Exhibit A3 - Middle Canyon Connector Skyline Drive Side Terminal Point identifies the included northwest endpoint of the Middle Canyon connector and the point beyond which construction is excluded.
• The County-approved field flagging, written addenda, and any revised KML issued before the proposal deadline control over generalized mapping. Offerors shall not rely on the KML as a boundary survey, utility locate, easement description, or authorization to enter private property.
• The Middle Canyon connector terminates at the green-line endpoint shown in Exhibit A3, approximately latitude 40.5223355 and longitude -112.2640416. The unresolved easement and access segment between that point and Skyline Drive is excluded from this procurement.
• If the documents conflict, written addenda govern first, followed by this Attachment A and
Exhibit A3, County-approved field markings, the design summary, and the KML reference file.

5 Trail Construction Requirements
• Construct a continuous natural-surface singletrack tread with a finished width of 48 inches unless a localized adjustment is approved in writing to avoid a resource, improve drainage, or create a safe tie-in.
Instructions to Offerors | 13
• Use native soil compacted to a firm, stable, uniform surface. Remove unsuitable organic material, loose debris, protruding hazards, and unstable material from the tread.
• Clear only the vegetation and obstacles necessary within the approved corridor. Preserve healthy vegetation, natural features, and undisturbed ground outside the authorized limits.
• Excavate, grade, shape, moisture-condition, and compact the trail tread to drain without persistent ponding, rutting, or concentrated erosion.
• Maintain the approximate average grades shown for each segment, avoid unnecessary fall-line construction, and provide a typical outslope of 2%-4%, adjusted where a designed feature or field condition requires another drainage treatment.
• Construct smooth, durable tie-ins and transitions at roads, parking areas, existing trails, turns, grade changes, drainage crossings, and termini.
• Provide climbing turns, switchbacks, berms, rollers, technical features, retaining or crib structures, and rock work only where shown, field-approved, or reasonably necessary to deliver a safe and sustainable trail consistent with the approved character.
• Import material only when native material cannot provide a stable, durable tread or feature.
Obtain County approval of the source, type, quantity, location, and price basis before importing material not included in the accepted proposal.
6 Drainage and Erosion Control
• Use grade reversals, rolling grade dips, outsloping, drainage crossings, rock armoring, check structures, cross-sloping, and other site-appropriate measures to disperse runoff and protect the tread.
• Do not direct concentrated runoff onto adjacent property, roads, existing trails, parking areas, structures, or other infrastructure.
• Armor drainage crossings, seep areas, steep approaches, and erosion-prone locations where necessary for long-term performance.
• Stabilize exposed soil and disturbed areas progressively. Maintain erosion-control measures until final acceptance and repair erosion attributable to the work.
7 Access Property and Environmental Protection
• Access is limited to routes approved by the County. The Contractor is responsible for confirming that its proposed equipment can safely reach the work without unauthorized entry or avoidable damage.
• The KML and design summary depict property context but do not establish legal boundaries.
Stop work and notify the County if flagging, mapping, or field conditions appear to cross an unapproved property boundary.
• The Middle Canyon segment shall stop at the green-line endpoint shown in Exhibit A3, approximately latitude 40.5223355 and longitude -112.2640416. The Contractor shall not enter, Instructions to Offerors | 14 construct within, or disturb the excluded easement and access segment between that point and
Skyline Drive.
• Protect existing roads, parking, trails, fences, irrigation facilities, utilities, vegetation, cultural resources, and public improvements. Repair damage caused by construction at no additional cost.
• Comply with applicable fire restrictions and maintain appropriate extinguishers and fire-prevention equipment with crews and machinery.
8 Site Safety and Public Coordination

• Provide a final walk-through, correct punch-list items, submit photographs and an updated as-built KML or GPS track for each completed segment, and deliver required permits, product information, warranties, and closeout records.
10 Quality and Acceptance
The County will evaluate continuity, width, grade transitions, outslope, drainage, compaction, surface stability, feature workmanship, tie-ins, corridor compliance, restoration, and overall safety. Acceptance requires completion of all included segments and correction of deficiencies identified during inspection.
The Contractor shall correct settlement, erosion, drainage failure, unstable tread, defective features, or restoration failure caused by deficient work during the warranty period stated in the Contract.
