IFB - Highland Park Elementary - Plaza Remodel

The Salt Lake City School District (SLCSD) issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the Highland Park Elementary School Plaza Remodel project, posted May 21, 2026, with bids due June 8, 2026. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete a comprehensive remodel of the south plaza/courtyard area at Highland Park Elementary School, located at 1738 East 2700 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84106. The scope of work encompasses site demolition, site clearing, earth moving, excavation support and protection, dewatering system design and installation, storm utility drainage piping installation, concrete paving with joint sealants, asphalt paving, and landscape improvements as detailed in the civil and landscape drawing sets and technical specifications. Bidders must submit base bids and alternate bids through the Bonfire/U3P electronic platform and must include bid bonds, licensing documentation, and all required supporting materials as specified in the solicitation documents. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. at the school's main front entrance, and contractors who fail to attend on time will be ineligible to submit bids. All bidder questions must be submitted in writing through the Bonfire/U3P system or posed at the pre-bid meeting, with official responses issued only through that platform or authorized addenda. Evaluation will be based on bidder responsiveness to all solicitation requirements, including demonstrated compliance with technical specifications, project schedules, insurance and bonding requirements, and adherence to SLCSD Standard Terms and Conditions for Goods and Services.

The solicitation documents do not identify any specific set-asides for disadvantaged business enterprises or restrictions limiting bidder participation to particular classifications of organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified for this project. Bidders must maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate, provide workers' compensation insurance, comply with E-Verify requirements for employee verification, and obtain performance and payment bonds in the full contract amount. The contractor must warrant all goods for one year and repair or replace nonconforming items within ten days of notification. Liquidated damages are established at $1,000 per calendar day for failure to meet the project completion date, and progress payments will be calculated at 95 percent of the Architect's estimate of completed work with 5 percent retained until final payment. The solicitation documents do not specify an overall project budget or award value range; however, the comprehensive scope of work involving site demolition, utility installation, concrete and asphalt paving, landscaping, and dewatering systems indicates a substantial construction project. All contracts will be governed by Utah state law, with venue established in Salt Lake County's Third Judicial District Court, and the SLCSD reserves the right to terminate agreements with ten days' notice for cause or thirty days' notice without cause.
