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: 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:  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.
