Lehi City Cemetery Irrigation RFB

Lehi City Corporation is seeking bids for a comprehensive cemetery irrigation system replacement project located at 1525 N 600 E in Lehi, Utah, under Request for Bid (RFB) No. 2025-18. The procurement involves installing a new irrigation system across a 3.8-acre section of the Lehi City Cemetery, with precise lateral line placement aligned with burial plots to ensure consistent water coverage and future excavation flexibility. Key deliverables include removing the existing irrigation infrastructure, installing 2,215 linear feet of mainline and 5,451 linear feet of lateral lines, connecting to the existing WeatherTrak control system, and performing complete ground restoration. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals electronically through utah.bonfirehub.com by September 29, 2025, at 5:00 PM MDT, with an optional pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM at the project site. Evaluation criteria will focus on contractor qualifications, professional reputation, service quality, performance capability, financial resources, availability, and proposed pricing, with the city selecting the respondent offering the best overall economic advantage.

The Request for Bid does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, indicating the opportunity is open to qualified irrigation and municipal infrastructure contractors. The existing infrastructure includes a secondary water connection capable of delivering 220 GPM at 80 PSI and a current WeatherTrak control system that new installations must integrate with seamlessly. While the bid sheet shows a total project cost of $0, which may indicate a documentation error, the comprehensive design documents suggest a professionally scoped municipal infrastructure project. The irrigation system design, prepared by Jacobsen Irrigation Design, specifies detailed technical requirements including specific pipe materials, valve types, and installation methods, indicating a sophisticated and technically rigorous procurement process. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate advanced irrigation system design and installation capabilities, familiarity with municipal cemetery infrastructure, and the ability to execute a precise, technically complex project with minimal disruption to the cemetery's operations.
