7000 South Entrance Improvement Project

The City of West Jordan is soliciting proposals from qualified S330 licensed contractors to construct improvements along the 7000 South Entrance corridor, a primary gateway into the city. The project scope encompasses landscape enhancements adjacent to the roadway, retaining wall construction using Verti-Block materials, site preparation, electrical coordination for city entrance signage, traffic control implementation, and comprehensive project management coordination. Deliverables include completion of fourteen bid line items spanning mobilization, site preparation, construction activities, and landscaping installations, with the retaining wall installation covering approximately 12,114 square feet and priced on a per-square-foot unit basis. Key objectives include enhancing the visual character, functionality, and long-term maintainability of this gateway entrance through drought-tolerant plant materials, proper grading, erosion control measures, and a complete pressurized irrigation system with approximately 6,158 linear feet of mainlines and laterals. Contractors must demonstrate relevant experience and qualifications, provide minimum two references for comparable projects, submit detailed project schedules, articulate project approach methodology, and evidence public project experience; proposals must not exceed 15 pages and are due May 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P). Evaluation criteria include experience and qualifications (25 points), demonstrated project understanding (20 points), scope of work delivery (20 points), example projects (10 points), and cost proposal using a formula-based scoring method (25 points). Contract execution is anticipated within 30 days of the proposal due date, with substantial completion required by November 30, 2026, and final completion no later than 120 days thereafter, followed by a one-year warranty period.

No specific set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are noted in the solicitation materials provided. Contractors must perform not less than 20 percent of the work with their own forces, excluding designated specialty items, and must maintain performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price along with comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence/$3,000,000 aggregate), automobile liability ($5,000,000 combined), and workers' compensation insurance. The City will provide retaining wall concrete block material, while the entrance sign will be provided and installed by YESCO, meaning contractors must coordinate with these designated suppliers. No incumbent contractor is identified in the procurement documents. The geotechnical study and landscape design documents indicate site-specific conditions including subsurface soil composition, groundwater considerations, seismic design requirements, and detailed plant material specifications (approximately 669 individual plants across multiple species) that contractors must integrate into their construction methodology. While a specific budget or award value range is not explicitly stated in the available documentation, the detailed bid schedule with lump-sum and unit-price line items will determine the final contract award amount based on submitted pricing and the formula-based cost evaluation methodology.
