Daggett County approves $15,000 sponsorship for Centennial Rodeo; SunRock offers concrete donation for ADA seating

The Daggett County Commission approved a $15,000 sponsorship for the 2025 Daggett Heritage PRCA Rodeo in Manila and discussed plans to add permanent Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) seating and walkways at the Cow Country rodeo grounds.

A rodeo board member told commissioners that SunRock has agreed to donate the concrete needed for an ADA seating pad and associated walkways. The presenter said the sketches call for roughly 21–22 cubic yards of concrete to form a walkway in front of the concession stands, a pad around an existing light pole, and a raised curb where a handrail could be mounted to create an accessible route into the arena.

The board member said SunRock will provide concrete and can supply a logo or stickers for any permanent handrail or concrete stamp. County facilities staff said they could build a handrail to meet standards if the county supplies materials such as rebar, conduit and railing components. Commissioners and facilities staff discussed using painted pipe to mimic the appearance of the existing wooden rails while meeting OSHA/ADA height standards.

The county discussed design details including keeping spectators three feet back from the fence via a curb, providing an elevated but accessible spot for camera tripods, and preserving sight lines for existing grandstand seats. Facilities staff cited an OSHA guideline of about 41 inches (plus or minus 3 inches) for handrail height and said a pipe handrail painted brown could match the stands’ look while meeting code.

Commissioners also approved a purchase request to Legacy Logos for rodeo marketing materials, banners and volunteer shirts in a not-to-exceed amount of $3,364.46. The requester described an initial estimate of $3,003.64 and said Legacy Logos reduced pricing by $250 as a sponsor; commissioners approved the request as presented.

The commission agreed to place a recurring agenda item for rodeo board updates through the end of rodeo season, to be used only when the board has updates to present.

Quotes in the discussion were offered by a rodeo board member and multiple county staff members during the public meeting.

Commission action and next steps

- Sponsorship: The commission moved and seconded a motion to approve the county sponsorship for the 2025 Daggett Heritage PRCA Rodeo in the budgeted amount of $15,000; the motion passed by voice vote. - Purchase request: The commission moved and seconded a motion to approve the purchase request to Legacy Logos for signage, banners and shirts not to exceed $3,364.46; the motion passed by voice vote. - Direction: Staff were asked to gather cost estimates for rebar, conduit, certified handrail components and installation; volunteers offered to help with construction and finishing work.

Why this matters

Commissioners said the rodeo brings visitors and local spending to the county, supports tourism, and is run largely by volunteers and county staff. The ADA seating and walkway project aims to provide a permanent, accessible location for people who use wheelchairs or need level access to the event without changing the existing grandstand sightlines.

Clarifying details and costs

- Concrete: Presenter estimated about 21–22 cubic yards of concrete; current quoted prices range from $250 to $300 per yard depending on trucking and add-on charges, giving an approximate material cost in the $5,250–$6,600 range (not including county labor, rebar, conduit, rails or other supplies). (Source: rodeo board member) - Handrail standard: Facilities staff cited an OSHA guideline of roughly 41 inches ±3 inches for height; the county plans to specify a railing design that visually matches the wooden rails but is constructed of painted pipe to meet load and height standards. (Source: facilities staff) - Signage/memorabilia: Legacy Logos purchase approved not to exceed $3,364.46; the vendor offered a $250 sponsorship credit on its estimate. (Source: purchase request) - SunRock: Company agreed to donate concrete and will supply logo art/stickers for any permanent feature bearing donor recognition. (Source: rodeo board member)
