Nibley City released a bidding Q&A document on November 4, 2026, providing clarifications for the Nibley City Regional Drain Line project. The document addresses specific inquiries regarding bid items, construction schedules, and technical specifications.
The project is estimated to cost near $230,000. Regarding construction timelines, final completion is set for June 30, with punch list items due by July 1. While work during the irrigation season will require coordination with canal companies, the city stated it has already coordinated the extent of the work with the canal company. Contact information for the College Irrigation Company is included in the General and Special Provisions for coordinating watering schedules and work impacting the canal.
Technical clarifications were provided for several bid items. An upcoming Addendum #1 will address the missing quantity and unit for Bid Item #9, a 24-inch slide gate, as well as incorrect general notes on sheet C200. The city confirmed that 12-inch slide gates are required for boxes 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9, while a 24-inch slide gate is required for box 9. Additionally, the city noted that the existing 10-inch land drain must remain in service during construction.
For site visits, there is no mandatory pre-bid or site visit. The site can be accessed from Maple Valley Rd (1500 West) via 3200 South. Visitors are advised to remain within the drainage easement shown on the plans when accessing the site. Regarding bid security, the city stated that while the city has the right to reject bids if action is taken within 30 days, the Bid Bond Hold is 90 days.
Geotechnical information for the alignment is unavailable, but soil types are estimated to be loam, silty clays, silty clay loams, and clay loams. Groundwater is estimated to be between 24 and 48 inches below the existing grade. The city also clarified that experience on federal projects is not required, as the previous mention of federal funding was an error.
