About this opportunity
The Utah Communications Authority is requesting construction bids for the Parker Mountain Radio Tower and Shelter Installation on State Trust Lands in Piute County, Utah (GPS: 38.324602, -111.892773), with proposals due June 4, 2026 at noon Mountain Time and questions due May 29, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. This is a fixed-price solicitation with no change orders permitted; all travel time, vehicle requirements, weather contingencies, and remote-site logistics must be incorporated into the bid.
Bidders must hold an active Utah contractor license, demonstrate minimum five years of experience with comparable radio site builds including lattice towers 80 feet or greater, provide three client references from projects completed within the past five years, and show bonding capacity for 100% Performance and Payment Bonds. Required insurance includes workers' compensation, commercial general liability of $1 million per occurrence / $3 million aggregate, and commercial automobile liability of $1 million combined single limit, with UCA and the State of Utah named as additional insureds. Bidders must affirm familiarity with L3 Harris Grounding Specifications Manual T4618 Revision F.
The scope encompasses construction of a modular two-room equipment shelter on poured concrete foundation, installation of a 100-foot self-supporting Sabre lattice tower with ice bridge and antenna systems, three solar sectors with 36 total panels, a 1,000-gallon propane tank with fuel and sensor lines, HVAC systems, grounding infrastructure, and coaxial cable installations. The site is accessed by dirt road requiring high-clearance or four-wheel-drive vehicles; the final 1.5 miles are steep and rocky. Substantial completion is required by August 24, 2026.
Evaluation uses 1,200 total points: 720 technical and 480 cost, with cost integrated into scoring per Utah Code waiver due to the remote location's material impact on mobilization and logistics. Prices must remain firm for a minimum of 180 days from submission. Performance and Payment Bonds must be delivered prior to contract execution; no bid bond is required. UCA strongly encourages independent site familiarization; no formal pre-bid site walk will be hosted. Submissions are made electronically via Bonfire.
