Heber City- 980 South Mill Rd Intersection Improvements 2025

Heber City is soliciting sealed bids for the 980 South Mill Road Intersection Improvements project, a comprehensive infrastructure enhancement focused on pedestrian safety and traffic calming at a school crossing location. The procurement is for construction services involving the removal of existing asphalt, curb, gutter, and sidewalk, followed by installation of new pedestrian infrastructure including bulb out structures, crosswalks, pedestrian ramps, and a Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) system. Bidders must hold a valid Utah contractor's license and demonstrate qualifying experience with at least two similar projects completed within the past four years. The project includes a base bid and two alternate bid schedules, with the city reserving the right to award based on the base bid or Bid Alternate #2. Key submission requirements include a 5% bid bond or certified check, and compliance with the Status Verification System Affidavit. The pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. MST at Heber City offices, with questions to be submitted to Alex White at alex.white@sunrise-eng.com no later than January 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Sealed bids will be received until 2:00 p.m. MST on January 13, 2026, with construction anticipated to commence after May 29, 2026, and required completion by June 30, 2026.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract does not list any incumbent vendors or specify integration requirements with existing infrastructure. Liquidated damages are established at $1,000 per consecutive calendar day for failure to achieve substantial completion by the project deadline. Upon award, the successful bidder must execute the Agreement and provide Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100% of the contract price within ten calendar days. While the exact contract value is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the intersection improvements, including pedestrian safety infrastructure, suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment. The project manual indicates that pricing will be submitted on a lump sum and unit price basis for identified bid items, with the city maintaining flexibility in award decisions based on the base bid or alternative schedules. Contractors will be required to coordinate with local schools to maintain safe crossing routes during school hours, indicating a collaborative approach to project implementation.
