Moab Water Tank Painting Project

Utah is soliciting sealed bids for two distinct infrastructure projects: the Moab Water Tank Painting Project and the Fashion Boulevard Mill and Overlay Project in Murray. The City of Moab seeks contractors to paint the exterior of one 1-million-gallon steel water storage tank (Mountain View Tank, 74 feet in diameter by 32 feet tall) according to AWWA D102-24 standards, including complete removal of existing coatings and application of one of three specified coating systems, with all work to be completed within 90 days of the Notice to Proceed. The City of Murray Corporation seeks contractors to conduct a road mill and overlay project on Fashion Boulevard from 5600 South to 6100 South, consisting of 2-inch rotomilling of approximately 243,500 square feet of existing pavement and placement of 3 inches of bituminous concrete overlay totaling approximately 4,566 tons, along with pedestrian ramp improvements, curb and gutter replacement, sidewalk and pedestrian improvements, and pavement striping. Both projects require contractors to obtain all necessary building permits and maintain strict compliance with safety and quality standards; the Moab project mandates adherence to AWWA D102-24 standards and OSHA regulations, while the Fashion Boulevard project requires Class II asphalt with PG 58-28 grading and Class 4000 concrete specifications. The Fashion Boulevard project has a bid due date of May 5, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with work commencing July 15, 2026, and substantial completion required by August 17, 2026; the Moab project required sealed bids by March 10, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference held February 24, 2026. Both projects require comprehensive general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price, along with bid bonds of 5 percent of the total bid amount.

The procurement documents do not identify any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting eligible bidders to particular organization types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The Fashion Boulevard project requires contractors to maintain two-way traffic at all times during construction with milled surfaces not to exceed three days before repaving without engineer authorization, necessitating integration with existing municipal traffic control systems and compliance with UDOT Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices standards. The Moab Water Tank Painting Project imposes liquidated damages of $500.00 per calendar day for delays beyond the 90-day completion period, while the Fashion Boulevard project assesses liquidated damages at $2,000 per day for failure to achieve substantial completion by August 17, 2026. The Fashion Boulevard project is funded through Class C Road Funds, and specific budget values are not disclosed in the available solicitation materials for either project, though both operate under a sealed competitive bidding process with awards to be made to the lowest responsible, responsive bidder.
