Payson 100 south improvements

Payson City, located in Utah County, is soliciting bids for the 100 South Improvements project, a comprehensive infrastructure enhancement initiative. The procurement requires a contractor to furnish all labor, equipment, and materials for removing and replacing asphalt pavement, installing concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk, constructing a retaining wall, and installing storm drain catch basins, piping, and a subsurface retention system. The project is located at the southeast corner of 500 E 100 South in Payson, Utah, and encompasses 20 distinct bid items including roadway excavation, base course installation, asphalt paving, concrete work, landscape wall construction, and utility modifications. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) website by 2:00 p.m. MST on February 5, 2026, with no pre-bid meeting scheduled. Bidders are required to demonstrate the ability to perform at least 50 percent of the work without subcontracting and provide references from similar projects completed within the last four years. The project completion deadline is set for August 28, 2026, with liquidated damages of $500 per day assessed for each calendar day beyond the specified completion date.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to 5 percent of the total bid amount and will be required to provide performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of the contract amount from surety companies listed on the U.S. Department of Treasury Circular 570. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a substantial infrastructure investment. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder within 30 calendar days of bid opening, with the awarded contractor given 14 calendar days to execute the agreement and provide required documentation. Payment terms include a 10 percent retention on progress payments, with potential reduction to 5 percent after 50 percent project completion and further reduction upon substantial completion. The project specifications require adherence to Payson City and APWA Standards and Specifications, with construction observation to be conducted by IGES, Inc. at multiple stages to ensure compliance with design criteria.
