UDOT Pipe reline and Segmental Thermoplastic Liners

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Procurement Services Division issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) Solicitation #UDOT260127CN on January 29, 2026, with a submission deadline of February 3, 2026, seeking pricing for Segmental Thermoplastic Liners to be used for pipe rehabilitation and installation by UDOT. This procurement solicits a multiple 5-year contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with products available in sizes ranging from 18 inches to 60 inches in existing host pipe diameter. The segmental thermoplastic liners must comply with UDOT Specification 02618 and applicable AASHTO M 326 or ASTM standards, with each segment featuring male and female end connections and permanent manufacturer identification markings. Deliverables include the provision of pipe liner segments on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum order quantities, along with comprehensive technical documentation including product data, engineering calculations, grout mix designs, and trial batch test data demonstrating compliance with specifications. Key contractual requirements include pricing guarantees for one year from the contract date with 30 days' notice required for any subsequent price adjustments, delivery on an F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid and Allowed basis, and submission of completed Vendor Set Up Forms (FI170) and price lists organized by quantity discount tiers (less than 20 feet through 501-1,000 feet) and county-by-county delivery considerations. Bidders must demonstrate compliance through sufficient documentation and information addressing installation procedures, pipe preparation methods, grouting specifications requiring cementitious low-density mixtures with compressive strength between 100 and 400 PSI, and adherence to AASHTO HL-93 loading standards assuming full host pipe deterioration.

The solicitation documents do not specify set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting response to particular organizational types, indicating this procurement is open to all responsive and responsible bidders meeting the technical specifications. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation, nor are there references to required integration with existing infrastructure or technology systems beyond compliance with UDOT specifications and standard installation procedures. Bidders are required to maintain one million dollars in Commercial General Liability insurance per occurrence and three million dollars in aggregate, along with Workers' Compensation and Commercial Automobile Liability coverage as specified in the State of Utah Agency Standard Terms and Conditions. The contract will be governed by State of Utah law with venue in Salt Lake County's Third Judicial District Court, and contract award values are not explicitly stated in the available documentation, though the multiple 5-year structure with tiered volume pricing and county delivery considerations suggests flexibility for scaling based on UDOT's as-needed procurement requirements over the contract term.
