IFB: 200 South: 900 E & 1300 E Traffic Signals and Bus Lanes

The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is soliciting bids under Invitation for Bid 8-26-04074 for traffic signal replacement at 900 East and 1300 East and Transit Bus/BAT lane signing and striping improvements on 200 South from 400 West to 700 East in Salt Lake City, with bids due December 11, 2026. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program is suspended as of November 6, 2026, based on 90 FR 47969, but all non-DBE certificates and assurances remain required. Bids that omit required forms may be rejected as non-responsive.

The scope covers replacing signal heads, adjusting signal timing, and enhancing coordination at the two intersections, along with new pavement markings, directional signage, and lane designation updates for the bus lanes. Work must follow signed engineering plans and three binding UTA appendices: the Construction Safety and Security Program Manual, the Quality Management Plan, and the Design Quality Procedures. Required federal certifications include Buy America and Build America compliance, equal employment opportunity, debarment and suspension, lobbying restrictions, and federal tax liability and felony conviction disclosures. Contractors must flow equivalent certifications down to all subcontractors and material suppliers at all tiers.

The prime contractor must pay subcontractors within thirty days of receiving payment from UTA and return retainage within thirty days after satisfactory completion of work. Contractors must keep compliance records for three years after performance and make them available to UTA representatives. The certification attachments are material representations on which UTA relies when entering transactions.
