Council awards $225,000 contract to pave and expand public parking lot at 70 East Main Street
Summary
After receiving bids the council awarded the contract to B.D. Bush (low bidder) for $225,000 to upgrade the public parking lot at 70 East Main Street; staff said the project will add roughly 20–25 parking spaces and eliminate dust and drainage issues. Funding source and accounting to be finalized by staff.
The Midway City Council awarded a $225,000 contract to B.D. Bush to improve and pave the public parking lot at 70 East Main Street.
Staff opened bids and reported B.D. Bush was the low bidder at $225,000. City staff and several councilmembers praised the contractor’s local experience and presence on other Midway projects; staff noted part of the bid increase from earlier estimates reflected a more detailed design that required additional UDOT‑grade sidewalk work, ADA approach modifications and updated drainage and elevation work.
Staff estimated the paved parking lot will accommodate roughly 42–46 vehicles (transcript discussion cited 42 and 46 in different places) and said the change would move capacity from an observed 27 cars during a busy event to four dozen, removing dust and improving aesthetics and traffic handling near downtown during events such as Swiss Days. Councilmembers expressed a willingness to award the project to the experienced low bidder despite the final price exceeding earlier, rougher budget figures.
Councilmembers voted to award the contract and authorized the mayor to sign. Staff and finance staff will return with a proposed budget amendment or accounting plan identifying which line items or reserves will fund the $225,000 project.
