Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities is soliciting proposals from qualified engineering consulting firms to provide comprehensive design and professional engineering services for the FY27 CIPP and Point Repairs Bundle Project, a sanitary sewer rehabilitation initiative involving approximately 20,000 linear feet of sewer lines within the city's collection system. The procurement encompasses five primary task areas: pre-design services including pipe assessment and permitting; design services utilizing a 60/90 final design review process; bidding process management; construction-related services including office engineering and closed-circuit television (CCTV) review; and public engagement planning and execution. Deliverables will include engineering drawings, specifications, surveys, reports, and electronically stored records, which shall become the exclusive property of the City. The work will primarily utilize trenchless methods (Cured-In-Place Pipe technology) with conventional excavation point repairs employed where necessary. Required qualifications include registration as a Professional Engineer in Utah, compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, building codes, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and City Standards. Selection will be evaluated based on five weighted criteria: consultant qualifications and experience with similar projects (25%); experience and qualifications of key personnel (25%); responsiveness and availability to SLCDPU staff (25%); understanding of the scope of work (15%); and overall quality of the RFP response (10%). Technical proposals of no more than 10 pages with a separate itemized cost proposal in U.S. dollars are due by 2:00 PM on Friday, April 24, 2026, submitted through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) website.
