Wheels Park Vert Ramp Surround Area and Concrete Pad Construction-Design-Build

The City of West Jordan is soliciting design-build proposals from qualified general contractors for the Wheels Park Vert Ramp Surround Area and Concrete Pad Construction project, a phase III expansion of the Ron Wood Bike Park located in Salt Lake County, Utah. The procurement seeks contractor responsibility for designing and constructing structural and site improvements to support a new Vert-style ramp, including a multi-level shipping container surround area, base concrete pad, ADA access improvements, stairs, railings, circulation features, bike drop-in platforms, and dirt ramp features. The base bid requires double-stacked shipping containers with north side bike and ADA entry, south side bike exit, and window cutouts, while alternate bids offer triple-stacked configurations at levels two and three with similar features. Contractors must obtain building permits, coordinate with ESI Engineering (the project's structural engineer), and provide all labor, equipment, and materials except those supplied by the City, which will furnish the shipping containers, Vert ramp structure, dirt material stockpile, and engineering services. Proposals are due electronically through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) by 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time on April 2, 2026, with a deadline for submitting technical questions by March 26, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. MST. Evaluation criteria include contractor qualifications and demonstrated capacity (40 points), prior municipal work experience (25 points), and bike park and design-build experience (35 points), with proposals limited to 15 pages and contract execution expected approximately 30 days after the proposal due date and substantial completion targeted for August 2026.

The contract documents do not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to disadvantaged or minority-owned enterprises; however, all selected contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate, automobile liability of $3,000,000 per accident, workers' compensation at statutory rates, and professional liability of $3,000,000 per claim. Performance and Payment Bonds are required in amounts determined by applicable law, and contractors must provide a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) at the 100 percent construction drawing stage following value engineering and cost control activities. The maximum construction budget of $275,000 applies exclusively to contractor-provided services, labor, equipment, and materials, with liquidated damages of $930 per day applicable if work is not substantially completed within the specified contract period, and the contractor assumes all project risks and cost overruns. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to conduct negotiations with the selected contractor for a best and final offer before contract execution. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, and the project will operate as a design-build engagement with the City's structural engineer consultant ESI Engineering providing coordination and engineering services.
