Lower Farmington Creek Trail

Farmington City is requesting sealed bids for construction of the Lower Farmington Creek Trail Project, with bids due July 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time at Farmington City Hall, 160 South Main Street, Farmington, Utah.

The scope encompasses improvements and reroutes to the existing Farmington Creek Trail, including new trail construction, trail restoration, switchbacks, rock steps and stairways, rock retaining walls, bench cuts, fill material, standard culverts with rock headwalls, stair sets, and bridge construction. Bidding is conducted on a unit price basis with 16 line items plus one alternate item for bridge construction across a gully. The project must be substantially completed by September 30, 2026, with liquidated damages of $500 per day applying for each day of delay beyond that date.

Bid security of 5 percent of the maximum bid price (base bid plus all alternates) is required in the form of a certified check, bank money order, or bid bond. The apparent successful bidder's bid security will be retained until contract execution and delivery of performance and payment bonds within 15 days of Notice of Award. Progress payments will be made monthly at 95 percent of work completed, with retainage reducing to zero after 50 percent completion if progress is satisfactory. Interest accrues at 5 percent per annum on unpaid amounts.

Bidding documents are available beginning June 23, 2026 on the Utah Bonfire U3P website. All questions must be submitted via Bonfire by July 10, 2026. Site visits are welcome; bidders may request access for additional examinations as needed for bid preparation. Russell Coons is the point of contact at (801) 939-9276 or rcoons@farmington.utah.gov. No mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held.
