Council OKs $7,500 geotechnical study for Evanston Recreation Center site
Summary
Council voted to authorize an engineering services agreement with IGES Inc. to perform geotechnical analysis of the Evanston Recreation Center site; staff said the work follows earlier roof and drainage reviews.
The Evanston City Council on Feb. 18 approved Resolution 25-11 authorizing the mayor to execute an engineering services agreement with IGES Inc. to perform geotechnical analysis and recommend mitigation for the Evanston Recreation Center site.
City staff said the work follows a roof project and a subsequent review that identified drainage issues affecting a retaining wall and fill area on the east side of the building. "Crest has recommended that geotechnical engineering be retained to perform geotechnical analysis," staff reported, and IGES submitted a proposal for $7,500 to perform potholing and prepare a report. The contract will be coordinated between Press LLC (consultant on the earlier work) and IGES, staff said.
Council member Hageman asked whether IGES is a Wyoming-based company and whether any of the work or fees would stay local; staff replied they did not believe IGES is Wyoming-based and that there are no local geotechnical firms in Uinta County that perform this specialty work. Council member Perk introduced the resolution and Council member Schmidt seconded; the council approved the measure by voice vote.
The approved agreement covers only the geotechnical investigation and report; staff did not present a schedule for follow-up construction or remediation and did not specify any additional funding beyond the $7,500 proposal.
