EMC Trail Head & Pony Express Traffic Signal

Eagle Mountain City is seeking qualified consultants to design a new traffic signal and associated roadway modifications at the intersection of Pony Express Parkway and Trail Head Road in Utah County. The project scope includes removing four existing concrete roundabouts/islands, replacing them with a fully signalized intersection, adding ADA pedestrian ramps, school crosswalks, and school signage. Design services must encompass site surveys, topographic data, utility coordination, traffic analysis, signal design with mast arms and detection systems, and comprehensive drawings and specifications. Evaluation will be conducted using a scoring matrix with criteria including Firm Experience (25%), Project Team Experience (25%), Functional Approach (20%), Technical Approach (17%), Cost (10%), and Introduction Letter (3%). The RFP was issued on December 1, 2025, with questions due by December 9, 2025 at 5:00 PM, and proposals due December 15, 2025 at 12:00 PM, with an anticipated contract award date of December 18, 2025. Proposals must be submitted through the State of Utah's Public Procurement Portal and cannot exceed 15 single-sided pages.

The procurement requires a 5% bid bond payable to Eagle Mountain City and extensive insurance requirements, including General Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Commercial Automobile insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Professional Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per claim. All insurance carriers must have an A.M. Best rating of A-class VIII or better and name Eagle Mountain City as an additional insured. Vendors must complete prequalification forms and submit W-9 documentation through EagleMountain.gov/purchasing prior to proposal submission. The top three scoring firms will be invited to present in a one-hour virtual or in-person presentation, though these presentations will not be scored. The design and bid documents must be completed by April/May 2026 to support spring/summer 2026 construction, with the successful contractor required to post 100% Performance and Payment Bonds at contract signing. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant infrastructure investment for the city.
