The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is soliciting bids under IFB #UDOT270097MP for Group B (Large) sign panels, sign panel overlays, framed sign panels, school speed limit assemblies, posts, bases, foundations, grading, and miscellaneous labor and materials across UDOT Regions 1, 2, and 3, with bids due December 1, 2026. The solicitation is issued under the Utah Procurement Code and Utah Administrative Code.

Scope includes furnishing and installing ground-mounted and overhead sign panels in multiple aluminum thicknesses, exit gore signs, posts in several configurations, and bases and foundations at depths from 3 feet 6 inches to 10 feet. Additional services include sign removal and obliteration, unmounting, traffic control, expedited installation, and miscellaneous labor. Mobilization is priced by county within each region, with a maximum of two trips per job. Bidders must submit pricing for all regions in the prescribed format, and deviations result in disqualification. Bidders must also submit a Vendor Information Form, a Claim of Business Confidentiality if applicable, a conflict-of-interest disclosure, and certifications covering debarment, conflicts of interest, Utah tax liens, and other material information under UCA 63G-6a-120 and 902. Contractors must include Title VI nondiscrimination provisions in every subcontract and procurement.

Multiple awards are anticipated, with the lowest responsive, responsible bidder receiving the PRIMARY contract and the second-lowest receiving the SECONDARY contract. The contract term is five years with no renewal options. Prices hold for one year, and later increases require market index analysis and at least 30 days' notice.

Evaluation uses a tiered cost formula: the average of unit prices for items 1 through 38, plus the total sum of items 39 through 82, plus the average of the mobilization items. Item 83 is excluded from the basis of award. Bids are submitted electronically through the online bidding system by the closing date and time, and late submissions are ineligible. Pricing is public information and cannot be designated confidential.
