Parks Backflow, Master Valve, and Hydrometer Installation

West Valley City is seeking qualified contractors for a Parks Backflow, Master Valve, and Hydrometer Installation Project (WVC-PR-PM003) in Salt Lake County, Utah. The procurement involves replacing or repositioning backflow prevention devices, master valves, and hydrometers across 10 municipal parks, including Country Meadows, Parkway, Scottsdale, Z-Park, West View, Centennial, Hunter Ridge, Bridal Farms, Woodledge, and Hillsdale Parks. Specific technical requirements include installing equipment such as Leemco restraint fittings, quick coupler assemblies, protective cages with concrete pads, and appropriate wiring to controllers at depths ranging from 1 inch to 8 feet 6 inches. The evaluation criteria will be weighted as follows: Price (40%), Adherence to Specifications and Service (30%), Quality of Product (10%), Warranty (10%), and Work Timeline (10%). Proposals are due by 10:00 AM on December 22, 2025, and must be submitted exclusively through Utah Bonfire at https://utah.bonfirehub.com, with questions to be submitted by 10:00 AM on December 18, 2025.

Contractors must provide local references, warranty information, valid business licenses, and proof of insurance coverage, including commercial general liability with $3,000,000 per-occurrence and $5,000,000 aggregate limits, commercial auto liability with $2,000,000 per-occurrence limits, and employer liability coverage of $2,000,000. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the guaranteed maximum price are required, with West Valley City named as the third-party obligee. The city offers a 1% bidding preference for contractors physically located within city limits, with an additional 1% preference available for businesses meeting criteria such as veteran hiring programs, active safety training, drug testing protocols, job training programs, health insurance for full-time employees, and nondiscrimination policies. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications and insurance requirements suggest a significant infrastructure investment. The project is scheduled to be completed between November and March, with all systems requiring pressurization and inspection prior to final installation.
