Granite School District (GSD) in Salt Lake County, Utah, is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to procure construction services for asphalt rehabilitation at West Valley Elementary School located at 6049 Brud Drive, West Valley City, Utah. The procurement seeks bids from licensed General Building Contractors (B100), General Engineering Contractors (E100), or Asphalt Contractors (S260) to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to rehabilitate approximately 82 acres of asphalt parking and playground surfaces. The scope of work includes milling and replacement of existing asphalt in drive, parking, pick-up, and playground areas; installation of new curb and gutter; concrete flatwork and sidewalk construction; storm drain improvements including cast-in-place concrete catch basins; removal and replacement of storm drain inlets; new ADA-compliant ramps and detectable warning surfaces; bollard installations; pavement markings; and restoration of landscaping and irrigation systems. All work must conform to 2025 APWA Standard Drawings and Specifications (Utah Chapter) and GSD standards, with the contractor assuming full responsibility for job site conditions, safety, and indemnification. The bidding process requires mandatory attendance at the pre-bid meeting scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2026, at 12:30 PM Mountain Time at GSD offices (2500 South State Street, Salt Lake City), followed by a site tour. Questions must be submitted by Monday, May 18, 2026, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time through the Utah Public Procurement Place/Bonfire (U3P) platform. Bids are due on or before Thursday, May 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time via U3P or written submission to GSD Purchasing Department. The contract start date is Monday, June 8, 2026, or five days after purchase order receipt (whichever is later), with a substantial completion deadline of Friday, July 31, 2026. Award recommendation will be presented to the GSD Board at the June 2, 2026, meeting, with final award issuance contingent upon board approval. Evaluation will award the contract to the lowest cost responsive and responsible bidder.

The procurement does not specify disadvantaged enterprise set-asides or restrictions on bidder types; however, bidders must comply with debarment certifications, the Sherman Antitrust Act, and submit W-9 forms if they have not previously received payment from GSD. Bidders must demonstrate project experience by submitting documentation for at least five comparable projects and provide a current list of proposed subcontractors (required for subcontractors performing work valued at $5,000 or more) with proof of licensing in accordance with Utah State law. Bids must include a 5% bid bond for bids of $50,000 or greater, and performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price are required upon contract execution. Retainage will be held at 5% of progress payments, with liquidated damages set at $500 per calendar day for delays beyond the July 31, 2026, substantial completion date and a $500 per day penalty for late project start. The contract pricing is submitted on a lump-sum basis using the GSD Bid Form with detailed line-item pricing across multiple work categories, though no specific budget or award value range is disclosed in the procurement documents. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate and workers' compensation insurance as required by law. The site will be occupied during the entire construction period, requiring contractors to coordinate work to minimize disruption to normal school operations.
