6-3 - SAMPLE PROPOSAL.pdf

This is a sample proposal document for an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the City of St. George, Utah, for a guided horizontal directional drill (HDD) project beneath Interstate 15 at the 400 East crossing. The project involves installing underground power conduits to replace existing overhead distribution facilities. Bidders must demonstrate conformance to the Scope of Work by providing detailed information regarding equipment planned for drilling the borehole and installing conduit, construction of bore and receiving pits, bore shot tracking and reporting, project timeline, pit sizing considerations, spoils storage and removal, and traffic control measures that maintain two-way traffic and access throughout the project duration. The proposal template requires bidders to identify the contractor and any subcontractors, provide anticipated staging of materials and equipment, and sign an agreement with the City of St. George. The bore alignment and profile must conform to stamped plans without deviation unless prior written approval is obtained from the City.

Bidders are required to submit a bid bond in the amount of 5% of the total bid, issued by a surety company licensed to do business in Utah and on a bond form acceptable to the City of St. George. A 100% performance bond covering labor and materials will be required upon project award. Total project costs should be clearly itemized with all pricing submitted on the designated pricing sheet within the bidding platform (Bonfire). The sample proposal does not specify response deadlines, site visit dates, or pre-bid conference schedules, as this is a template document. Award date and contract term information are not provided in this sample proposal document.
