Nielsen’s Grove and Mt. Timpanogos Park Sealing, Staining, Painting

The City of Orem is seeking proposals for a comprehensive sealing, staining, and painting project for wooden structures at two municipal parks: Nielsen's Grove Park and Mt. Timpanogos Park in Utah County. The procurement involves detailed restoration and treatment of multiple wood structures, including pavilions, a barn, greenhouse, museum house, pumphouse, bowries, trellis, benches, and signage across both park locations. Specific requirements include removing water stains, dirt, and debris before applying waterproof sealant, stain, or paint to each structure. Proposals must provide line-item cost breakdowns, detailed application methodologies, approximate timeframes, curing times, and re-entry times for selected products. The evaluation criteria will assess quality of work, product selection, application methods, timeliness, and clean-up processes, with the City reserving the right to make an award based on the most advantageous proposal, not solely on price. Key submission deadlines include written inquiries due by December 22, 2025, and proposal submissions due by December 29, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. through the State of Utah's Public Procurement Portal.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must comply with Utah State procurement regulations, including anti-boycott provisions and restrictions on forced labor products. Proposals require vendors to certify compliance with Utah Code 63G-27 and confirm they are not utilizing restricted foreign entities. The RFP suggests that technology solutions involving cloud services should utilize existing State of Utah Division of Technology Services accounts. While no specific budget range is provided, respondents are responsible for all proposal preparation costs, and the City is not liable for associated expenses. Interested vendors must submit both technical and cost responses separately, with a potential requirement for oral presentations prior to contract award. Communication is restricted, with all questions to be submitted through the designated procurement platform, and direct communication with procurement staff is prohibited except through the designated State procurement officer.
