This procurement involves comprehensive pavement resurfacing work on the Terminal Drive loop road, including mill and overlay of existing asphalt pavements, full-depth asphalt demolition, asphalt paving with Highly Modified Hot Mix Asphalt (HMHMA), micro surfacing treatments, and pavement marking installation. The project is divided into four phases over a planned 70-day duration, with specific work areas including the Return Road and Ramp F, GT Lot Entrance, Short-Term Parking Area (SBAR), and Rental Car Area (RCAR). Key deliverables encompass milling depths of 1.5 to 5-7 inches, pavement overlay depths of 2 to 5-7 inches, and approximately 37,020 square yards of cold milling, 3,360 square yards of full-depth removal, 5,470 tons of HMHMA paving, and 5,440 square yards of micro surfacing. All construction must comply with the Salt Lake City Safety Manual for Construction Safety and Security Compliance, including FOD prevention, traffic control meeting UDOT and MUTCD standards, and security protocols requiring Airport Operations Area (AOA) permits and TSA background checks. The mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, February 10, 2026, at 11:00 a.m., with sealed bids due on February 19, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at the Salt Lake City Department of Airports Administrative Offices, Third Floor, 3920 West Terminal Drive. The anticipated Notice to Proceed dates are April 20, 2026 (administrative) and May 4, 2026 (construction), with substantial completion required within 55 calendar days from the construction notice to proceed and final acceptance within 15 calendar days thereafter, with liquidated damages assessed at $1,000 per day for delays.

The bid documents do not indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises or other specially classified organizations; however, all bidders must demonstrate qualifications and comply with the Salt Lake City Value-Based Procurement Program requirements. Apparent low bidders must submit qualifications information within three calendar days of the engineer's request and are required to provide a mandatory five percent bid security in the form of a bid bond or cashier's check, with performance and payment bonds equal to the total contract price required upon contract execution.

The contract requires all materials and work to conform to federal, state, and local regulations and UDOT material specifications standards, with the contractor bearing all costs for mobilization, demobilization, utility location and protection, temporary drainage, haul route development, and restoration of all damaged pavements, structures, and utilities. While the specific total contract value is not explicitly stated in the bid documents, unit pricing is established for work items including full-depth asphalt removal, milling, excavation, aggregate base course, HMHMA paving, micro surfacing, and pavement marking, with the contract value likely in the range of several hundred thousand dollars based on the project scope and duration.
