ITB 2026-8 - Spanish Fork River Park Pipe Fence

Utah County Public Works Department is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB 2026-8) for the construction and completion of improvements to Spanish Fork River Park located in Spanish Fork Canyon. This procurement involves the removal of approximately 2,642 linear feet of existing fencing and installation of a new 2-3/8" drill pipe fence system, including one 16-foot gate, a park entrance double gate system consisting of two 12-foot gates, and a park entrance bow structure. Qualified contractors must submit digital proposals through the State of Utah's Bonfire (EUNA) eProcurement platform by Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with project completion required on or before October 15, 2026, regardless of weather conditions. Required qualifications include a current local business license, current Utah Department of Commerce contractor license, proof of required insurance, documentation of current personal property tax status, a minimum of three years' experience, and references from three similar projects. Bidders must submit a completed cost proposal, contractor information form, certificate of non-collusion, and must conduct mandatory site inspections before submitting bids. Contract award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with all work required to comply with American Public Works Association (APWA) standards and specifications. The contractor shall be responsible for furnishing all labor, materials, transportation, tools, equipment, supplies, and disposal fees, with payment to be made within thirty days of invoice receipt following County Project Manager approval.

The ITB does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types eligible to respond, nor are incumbent vendors or current contractors identified. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract price are required, and a 5% retainer will be held until project completion. Payment terms include processing within thirty days of invoice receipt following inspection and approval. Liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day apply for delays beyond the completion date, with exceptions only for acts of God, acts of public utilities, epidemics, labor strikes, or unusually severe weather. The contractor assumes full responsibility for utility location and protection, permitting, and site safety requirements. While a specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the ITB documentation, the scope of work—encompassing approximately 2,642 linear feet of fence removal and replacement plus gate installations—provides parameters for cost estimation by qualified bidders.
