SLCo PAR125951 Sugar House Park Pond Dredge - CONST

Salt Lake County's Facilities Management is seeking a contractor to execute the Sugar House Park Pond Dredge project (PAR125951), located at 1330 East 2100 South in Salt Lake City, Utah. The primary objective is to excavate approximately 13,700 cubic yards of sediment from the park's pond and transport the material to a designated dump site, specifically Bingham Creek Regional Park, with Wheeler Farm identified as an alternate location. Contractors must possess a current S-310 Excavation and Grading Contractor license and submit comprehensive documentation including a bid bond (5% of bid amount), performance and payment bonds, and various certifications. Bids will be submitted through the Online Solicitation System, with a 60-calendar day project completion timeline and liquidated damages of $100 per calendar day for delays. The project requires generating a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), acquiring necessary permits, and coordinating work schedules with the county. A site visit is optional, and bidders must submit questions through the Online Solicitation System. Bids will remain valid for 60 calendar days after opening, with the county reserving the right to reject any or all submissions.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project appears open to licensed contractors meeting the specified qualifications, with no apparent limitations on business size or type. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive bid documentation includes a Schedule of Values spreadsheet that allows for base bid and alternate pricing. The project requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability and workers' compensation, and mandates specific health insurance and drug testing policies for contractors. Contractors must provide qualified health insurance and ensure at least 10% of labor hours are performed by apprentices for projects exceeding $3,000,000. The contract includes a 12-month warranty period for work quality, and final payment will be contingent upon project acceptance and evidence of payment to all subcontractors and material suppliers. Funding for the project is subject to approval by the Mayor of Salt Lake County, with potential impacts on project scope or implementation.
