Salt Lake City Department of Airports is conducting an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the Rental Car Overflow Storage Lot Improvements project (Project No. 542610, Contract No. CA-007522) located in Salt Lake County, Utah. The project scope encompasses expanding and constructing a new rental car overflow storage area through full depth reclamation (FDR) of existing pavement and base course, with reclaimed material extended into adjacent unpaved areas and finished with asphalt millings to create a uniform storage surface. Additional work includes demolition of existing fencing and installation of new interior fencing to create four separate rental car storage zones, installation of new perimeter fencing for overall area security, upsizing the existing onsite detention pond with a new outlet structure for stormwater control, installation of new overhead light poles and electrical infrastructure, extension of water line service, and installation of a new fire hydrant within the storage area. The successful bidder must hold a valid Utah General Contractor license, maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $5,000,000 per occurrence and business auto coverage of $5,000,000 per occurrence, and comply with all Airport security requirements and Construction Safety and Security Compliance standards. The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 19, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., with sealed bids due on April 2, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Substantial completion is required within 60 calendar days from the Construction Notice to Proceed (anticipated May 1, 2026), with final acceptance required within 15 calendar days following completion of punch list items and liquidated damages of $1,000 per day assessed for failure to achieve substantial completion by June 29, 2026. Payment is structured using unit pricing and lump sum methods for various work items, with bid security required at five percent of the total bid amount, and performance and payment bonds each equal to the total contract price.
