Smith Ranch Traffic Light RFP

Eagle Mountain City has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) numbered FY19-02 seeking qualified engineering firms to design a traffic signal at the intersection of Pony Express Parkway and Smith Ranch Road. The project specifically requires designing a signal to replace the current four-way stop, with specific requirements including left turn signals for east and west bound traffic, pedestrian crossings, and a radar detection system. Proposals must be submitted electronically, by mail, or hand-delivered by July 31, 2018, at 2:00 PM MDT, with a strict five-page proposal limit. The proposal must include contact information, a list of recent municipal signal projects, and a detailed cost breakdown for design, bidding, and construction management fees. The selected firm will be responsible for preparing bid documents, assisting in contractor selection, and conducting site visits during the design and installation phases. The project is strategically located in a school crossing area serving Pony Express elementary school and is considered a main artery into Eagle Mountain. All questions regarding the proposal must be submitted through SciQuest to ensure transparency, with the procurement falling under commodity code 46160 for public safety and control equipment.

While the RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it is focused on selecting a qualified engineering firm with demonstrated experience in municipal traffic signal design. The proposal requires firms to showcase their recent municipal signal project experience, which may inherently favor firms with established track records in similar infrastructure projects. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The RFP does not provide a specific budget range or award value, though firms are required to submit a detailed cost breakdown for design, bidding, and construction management fees. The project appears to be part of Eagle Mountain City's infrastructure improvement efforts, targeting a critical intersection near an elementary school that currently operates with a four-way stop. The procurement process emphasizes transparency through the use of SciQuest for communication and requires comprehensive documentation of the proposed approach and associated costs.
