Work must be completed within 365 calendar days of Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $1,000 per calendar day for schedule delays.

The geotechnical report serves as a critical reference document for bidders evaluating site conditions and subsurface characteristics that impact construction feasibility and cost estimates. The report informs bidders' understanding of soil composition, foundation requirements, and site-specific challenges related to the Midvale Slag Superfund site remediation, which requires bidders to carry environmental and pollution liability coverage of $10 million specific to this contaminated site. Award is based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid within the construction budget, with the base bid and prioritized alternates evaluated in combination. Funding is contingent on approval by the Mayor and funding level availability. Performance and payment bonds, each at 100% of contract price, are required within ten days of award. Minimum insurance requirements include $5 million general liability and $10 million commercial automobile liability. Bidders must hold a minimum B-100 Utah contractor license, and all subcontractors must hold appropriate trade licenses. Projects exceeding $3 million must comply with County apprenticeship and construction procurement standards.
