Only contractors prequalified under DFCM's Stage I Prequalification for Contractors program and currently listed on the DFCM Prequalified Contractors list as of the solicitation date are eligible to bid — this is a hard eligibility gate.

The scope includes demolition of concrete slabs, sidewalks, curb and gutter, and electrical infrastructure; excavation and grading; relocation of a street light pole with electrical connections; installation of PVC conduit, electrical pull boxes, and concrete foundations; placement of new aggregate base course, concrete sidewalk, and bituminous pavement; and reinstallation of irrigation systems. The work is specified against the 2025 Edition of the APWA Manual of Standard Specifications, adopting industry standards from ASTM, ACI, AWS, and AASHTO. All work must comply with the 2010 applicable codes including the ADA Accessibility Guidelines, Building Conservation Uniform Code, and International codes (Electrical, Energy Conservation, Fire, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Building).

The construction cost estimate is $297,000 with a substantial completion date of August 31, 2026. Liquidated damages are assessed at $300 per day for delays. Bids are unit-price based with quantities ranging from single items to 2,611 square feet of asphalt pavement and 1,537 square feet of new sidewalk area. A bid bond of 5% of the bid amount on AIA Document A310-2010 form is required, with performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract sum. All three lowest bidders and any others desiring consideration must submit a complete subcontractor list within 24 hours of bid opening; subcontractors with bid amounts of $20,000 or more must be listed with license numbers and work descriptions.

A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 15, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. at the Matheson Courthouse. Questions are due July 20, 2026, and the addendum deadline is July 27, 2026. The contractor must obtain required permits from the Utah Division of Air Quality and Utah Department of Environmental Quality, with all associated fees and compliance responsibility falling to the contractor. Contractor performance will be evaluated and may affect prequalified status and eligibility for future DFCM contracts; contractors must maintain an overall performance rating of 4.0 or greater.
