Park City Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is issuing a Request for Proposals to procure design, fabrication, finishing, and transportation services for two fully engineered half-through truss steel pedestrian bridges to replace existing structures spanning McLeod Creek in Park City, Utah. The bridges must feature 12-foot clear width pedestrian design with steel form decking for concrete deck surfaces and no overhead bracing. Qualified manufacturers must hold AISC Shop Certification with "Major Bridge" designation and employ bridge engineers with a minimum of 10 years' experience designing similar structures and a current Utah professional engineering license. Evaluation will be based on qualifications and relevant experience (20%), ability to meet project schedule (30%), bridge design and aesthetics (20%), and fee proposal (30%), with pricing submitted separately for blind evaluation. Critical deadlines include a pre-proposal meeting on March 31, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams, questions due by April 7, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., and proposals due electronically via Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) by April 14, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The selection committee will evaluate proposals April 15-16, 2026, with potential interviews of top-ranked respondents, contract execution anticipated for April 30, 2026, design and construction submittals due by May 19, 2026, and bridge delivery required by September 22, 2026.

Respondents must obtain authorization to do business in Utah and maintain valid Park City business licenses if operating within city limits. The successful vendor must execute PCMC's standard Design Professional Services Agreement and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $3,000,000 aggregate, professional liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability coverage with $2,000,000 combined single limit, and workers' compensation insurance, with all coverages maintained for the applicable statutory limitation period after project completion. The RFP document does not specify set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, nor does it identify incumbent vendors or existing contractors. Geotechnical site conditions have been assessed with recommended bearing capacity of 1,500 pounds per square foot with 12 inches of structural fill, and the site is designated as Seismic Design Category D with soil site class D. PCMC reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, and contracts exceeding $100,000 require City Council approval; no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents.
