Long Canyon Phase II Pipeline

The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, on behalf of the Division of Natural Resources, issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the Long Canyon Phase II Pipeline project, soliciting the procurement of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) water pipes. The specific procurement requires a total of 30,250 feet of SDR9 fusible black polyethylene water pipe, consisting of 28,550 feet of 2-inch pipe and 1,750 feet of 1.5-inch pipe, to be delivered to Scipio, Utah. The pipes must be delivered on metal 8-foot spools, split into 9 rolls, with specific length and diameter requirements, and must have a minimum pressure rating of 200 PSI. The bid was opened on July 31, 2017, at 2:00 PM MST and closed on August 14, 2017, at 2:00 PM MST, with a performance timeline requiring pipe delivery no later than September 9th, 2017. Bidders were required to comply with prerequisites including maintaining applicable licenses, providing comprehensive company information, and adhering to State of Utah procurement guidelines. The solicitation number for this procurement is CN18018, and all questions were to be submitted through the SciQuest platform.

The procurement did not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Range Water Solutions & Supplies LLC was ultimately awarded the contract as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. While specific budget details were not disclosed, the bid price was to include all pipe material costs per foot, metal spools, and delivery costs to Scipio, Utah. The contract will be executed as a purchase order, indicating a straightforward procurement process without complex multi-stage evaluation. No information was provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requiring integration. The procurement appears to be a direct, focused acquisition of specialized water pipe materials for infrastructure development, with clear technical specifications and delivery requirements. The involvement of the Dixie Applied Technology College suggests potential educational or training-related aspects to the project, though the primary focus remains on the physical procurement of water pipe infrastructure.
