Sandy City's Department of Public Utilities is seeking prequalified contractors for the 2026 Utility Projects through a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ). The procurement involves infrastructure work at three locations: Green Way, Bryce Drive, and 700 East/Skylark Lane, with comprehensive storm drain, canal, and roadway modifications. Specific deliverables include installing approximately 930 feet of 24-inch RCP, 230 feet of elliptical RCP, utility coordination, infrastructure removal, regrading, and landscape restoration. Mandatory contractor qualifications include Utah business registration, appropriate contractor's licensing, minimum five years of municipal project experience, and project managers/superintendents with ten years of similar project expertise. Contractors must demonstrate sufficient bonding capacity, provide positive references, have no significant litigation history, and show completion of at least three open-cut storm drain projects in urban environments. Key submission requirements include detailed personnel qualifications, project approach documentation, previous project experiences, financial statements, safety programs, and contractor availability documentation. Critical procurement dates include a December 16, 2025 deadline for submitting questions, December 18, 2025 SOQ submission deadline, prequalified contractor notification on January 8, 2026, and bid documents available January 13, 2026, with construction anticipated to start in mid-March 2026 and complete by mid-September 2026.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Submissions must be made through the IonWave electronic platform with a 1GB file upload limit. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the utility infrastructure project suggests a significant capital investment. The procurement process requires extensive documentation, including certified financial statements, surety bonding letters, and comprehensive background information. Contractors must submit SOQs without including cost or bid information, with all addenda to be posted on sandycity.ionwave.net and the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) website. The project involves complex multi-location utility infrastructure work, indicating a sophisticated engineering and construction scope that will require advanced technical capabilities and significant municipal infrastructure experience. The evaluation appears to focus on technical competence, past performance, financial stability, and demonstrated ability to complete similar municipal utility projects within specified timeframes and quality standards.
