GJ26-129 Highland City 2026 Road Preservation Project

Highland City is procuring road preservation and reconstruction services through this competitive sealed-bid solicitation administered via the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) system. The scope of work encompasses roadway reconstruction with rotomilling and pulverizing of existing pavement, placement of new hot mix asphalt pavement at five designated locations (10250 North, 10480 North cul-de-sac, 5600 West, Granite Circle, and 5710 West), application of bonded matrix overlay on 6000 West and 9600 North, and application of high-density mineral bond treatment on eight street segments including 11350 North, 5830 West, 11200 North, Elmfield Way, Willowbank Drive, Featherstone Drive, Magnolia Drive, and Snowflake Drive. The project also includes valve and manhole reconstructions and removal and replacement of curb and gutter at select locations. Work must incorporate pulverization to a minimum depth of eight inches with reshaping and recompacting of subgrade, placement of new asphalt in thicknesses of 2.5 or 4 inches depending on location, and reconstruction of infrastructure to match new pavement sections. Bidders must be pre-qualified and provide attendance documentation at a mandatory pre-bid conference to be eligible. The bid package consists of three separate schedules allowing individual awards: Schedule A (Reconstruction), Schedule B (Bonded Matrix Overlay), and Schedule C (High Density Mineral Bond), with Schedule A items potentially eliminated based on funding limitations and a stated priority ranking for awards. Contractors must submit a five percent bid bond with proposals, maintain comprehensive liability and property insurance throughout the project term and for two years following completion, furnish performance and payment bonds equal to the contract price, and provide independent third-party testing laboratory services paid by the contractor with APWA specification compliance required. Questions must be submitted by April 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with bids due by April 21, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time via U3P; work must begin no later than June 1, 2026, with substantial completion by October 29, 2026, and final completion by November 30, 2026. Liquidated damages of $500 per day apply for failure to meet substantial completion and final completion dates, with progress payments made monthly at ninety-five percent of completed work with retainage applied.

The solicitation documents do not identify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organizational types eligible to respond, nor do they list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. No specific contract award value or budget range is detailed in the available procurement documents. The technical specifications require all work to comply with APWA standards for materials and installation, with asphalt and roadbase pulverization requiring moisturization and compaction to 95 percent standard proctor density. The project will integrate with existing municipal infrastructure in Highland City, requiring contractor notification to the engineer of any damaged infrastructure discovered during pulverizing operations and preservation of curb and gutter throughout construction. Excess pulverized material must be either salvaged for reuse as granular borrow or hauled off-site as specified by the project engineer.
