Salt Lake City Request for Bid SLCI26081 Crushed Recycled Concrete

Salt Lake City Corporation is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the provision of crushed recycled concrete materials through Request for Bid SLCI26081, with bids due by March 5, 2026. The City's Streets Division requires two primary product lines: 1" minus screened crushed recycled concrete and 1.5" crushed recycled concrete, to be used as sub-base material under sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and roads on an as-needed basis. The City anticipates annual purchases of approximately 400 tons of 1" minus screened material and 200 tons of 1.5" crushed recycled concrete. Qualified contractors must supply materials from a dedicated pickup site accessible to City personnel during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), provide material samples for City approval upon request, and warrant that all products conform to specified requirements and are of good merchantable quality. Contractors must be registered with the State of Utah and System for Award Management (SAM.gov), comply with E-Verify requirements, maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, workers' compensation insurance, and commercial automobile liability insurance with combined single limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder per line item, with pricing evaluated based on the quoted price per ton plus a transportation cost calculation derived from roundtrip mileage from the bidder's location to 865 S Delong Street, Salt Lake City, multiplied by the City's standard operating cost of $4.18 per mile for a 10-wheeler truck. All quoted prices must include materials, labor, supervision, insurance, transportation, delivery, fuel surcharges, and related expenses, with pricing guaranteed for the first contract year and subsequent annual adjustments limited to the lesser of three percent or the percentage increase in the Producer Price Index.

The Request for Bid does not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises or particular organizational categories. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the procurement documents. The resulting contract will commence on April 1, 2026, or upon the date of execution if later, and will have an initial five-year term with a possible four-month extension by mutual written agreement of the parties; the contract is non-exclusive, allowing the City to procure the same services from multiple sources. Bidders must certify compliance with the City's ethics standards and conflict of interest ordinance (Chapter 2.44, Salt Lake City Code) and are prohibited from offering gifts or promotional items to City employees, with violations subject to suspension or debarment from future City procurement processes. The City reserves the right to audit invoices for all purchases and may terminate the agreement for any reason with thirty days' notice or for cause without notice if the contractor fails to cure performance deficiencies within seven days of written notification. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the procurement documents, the estimated annual material requirements of approximately 600 tons combined suggest a substantial contract value over the five-year initial term, with all financial commitments subject to City Council appropriation of funds and limitations under applicable Utah law.
