Contractor & Other Permits

Contractor Permit

The Contractor Permit is available to university project managers and general contractors who hold existing contracts with the university. This permit allows construction and plant operation vehicles to park on campus.

 

Complete the following step to obtain the Contractor permit:

STEP 1: submit project parking plan form

The university project manager or plant operations manager must first submit the 'Project Parking Plan' form to paul.quist@utah.edu. If you are the general contractor, contact your project manager or plant operations manager to complete this step.

Download the 'Project Parking Plan' form here.

To ensure parking facilities are available to the contractor, submit the form before bidding on the project. The 'Project Parking Plan' must be approved before requesting a Contractor permit. Permits are not issued without prior authorization. Contractor permits are virtual, meaning each license plate represents the permit.

 

STEP 2: submit contractor permit request form

University project managers and general contractors must then fill out the Contractor Permit Request form. After submitting the permit request form, you will receive an email with the permit order status details.

Vendors & Contractors of the University Hospital & Clinics

Vendors are required to purchase a Vendor (V) permit to park on campus. Those with a V permit may:

  • Park in lot 45 on the 4th level, in any undesignated stall.
  • Access the valet if prior approval is received from the Director of Supply Chain (or their designee). Those with V permits approved to valet will be contacted by the Valet Supervisor for further instructions on usage.
  • Park in the Patient/Visitor terrace during the following hours: Monday-Friday, 6pm to 7am, weekends and holidays.

V permits may be purchased by contacting Commuter Services: 311 Fort Douglas Blvd, https://commuterservices.utah.edu or (801) 581-6415. Those who choose not to purchase a V permit may park in the South Terrace pay lot, the Huntsman Cancer Institute pay lot or any parking meter not designated as a red loading zone meter.

As a courtesy to our patients, vendors visiting the U of U Health Hospital & Clinics Community Clinics are asked to park vehicles in spots furthest from buildings to allow our patients easier access to their appointments.

    • The speed limit is 5 mph when traveling on the sidewalk.
    • Vehicle operators must yield to pedestrians and keep the wheels of the vehicle on hardscape at all times.
    • Vehicles may not block building entrances, ADA access ramps or fire lanes.
