Tooele City Council approves $144,778 change order to add chip-seal on two short road segments
Summary
On Sept. 3, 2025, the Tooele City Council voted 5-0 to approve Resolution 2025-75, authorizing Change Order No. 1 to the 2025 roadway maintenance project (Schedule B) to add chip-seal on two short sections of city streets.
On Sept. 3, 2025, the Tooele City Council voted 5-0 to approve Resolution 2025-75, authorizing Change Order No. 1 to the 2025 roadway maintenance project (Schedule B) to add chip-seal on two short sections of city streets.
Public Works Director Jamie Grandpre told the council that the city received a bid for the added chip-seal work and recommended accepting it. “They did give us a bid of $144,778.45 to do that chip seal, and we set a contingency of $7,250,” Grandpre said. He said the work covers a portion of 2400 North — from about 540 East to the end of the street — and a section of 2000 North from Aaron Drive west to 400 West.
Grandpre said a larger stretch of 2000 North, running from Aaron Drive to State Route 36, is more damaged and will require a heavier treatment than chip-seal (an HA5 mineral bond). He said the city intends to add HA5 to that longer section next year and therefore limited this change order to the areas that can be preserved by chip-seal now.
Grandpre estimated that applying chip-seal now should preserve the streets until the HA5 treatment can be scheduled in the spring. “If we get a chip seal on it soon, we might be able to save it so the rest of it doesn't look like the Aaron Drive East portion that's starting to fall apart,” he said. He also noted that upcoming development and a new high school will increase traffic on those streets.
Councilwoman Manzione moved approval of Resolution 2025-75; Councilman McCall seconded. The roll-call vote recorded ayes from Councilman McCall, Councilman Hansen, Councilwoman Gochis, Councilwoman Manzione and Councilman Brady. The motion passed 5-0.
Grandpre said Staker — the contractor performing the city's chip-seal work this year — can return later in September, weather permitting, to complete the added sections. He projected that following the HA5 treatment next year the roadway would receive “a really good finished coat” that should provide roughly a seven- to 10-year service life.
The change order adds the chip-seal work and the contingency to the existing Schedule B contract; the council did not discuss additional funding sources in detail during the item.
