The Utah County Commission approved a time extension to the county’s local agreement with Lehigh during its Sept. 17 meeting, acknowledging the agenda paperwork referenced a "first amendment" in error while the contract documents are the second amendment. County staff said paving tasks remain unfinished and that typical paving windows end around Oct. 15, after which some items would need to be completed next spring.

Why it matters: the extension preserves the contractor’s time to finish remaining paving work and avoids declaring noncompliance while weather and construction-season constraints persist. Commissioners described the issue as primarily logistical and operational rather than contractual in dispute.

Discussion and context: county staff explained the contractor still needs to complete paving items but that continued high temperatures until mid-October were masking the practical limits of paving. The staff member noted October 15 as the practical end of the paving window and said the contractor anticipates finishing outstanding items next spring.

Action taken: commissioners moved to approve the amendment as presented (noting the typo on the agenda) and the motion passed by voice vote. The county did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes provided.

No new financial appropriation or penalty was announced at the meeting; the extension was described as an administrative time change to allow completion of work.
