Authority hears progress report on water treatment plant; building permit and contractor timing remain pending
Summary
Daggett County staff reported contractors were expected onsite and that the county awaited a building permit decision; a final equipment invoice tied to ARPA funding arrived and a small disbursement for bond work was approved.
Daggett County staff reported on June 3 that contractors were scheduled to start excavation at the county water treatment plant site and that the authority was awaiting a building permit decision.
"The contractors are supposed to excavate or supposed to have been here yesterday. ... I'm hoping they will start any day," said Trevor Lee, staff member, describing the contractor schedule and site layout work. Lee said he planned to attend a local PNC meeting the following Wednesday to check whether the county had received the building permit, and added, "It will have been 30 days with no response as of the meeting Wednesday, so we'll see where we stand on that."
The authority's accounts receivable discussion referenced multiple funding and reimbursement items related to water and sewer work: a DJ sewer plant DWQ loan (status not specified in the transcript), a $46,000 water quality grant, and an MBA tank construction reimbursement item listed for $288,000. Lee said the county received a final invoice from Westech for treatment-plant equipment that was delivered the prior week and that the equipment purchase is part of ARPA funding.
Staff and members discussed open invoice and disbursement registers and noted a $5,615 disbursement to Bill Prager for bond work associated with the treatment plant; that disbursement was approved later in the meeting.
Discussion at the meeting did not include a formal change to project scope or an authorization beyond routine invoice and disbursement approval; the authority did not take a separate vote on the contractor schedule or permit follow-up, though staff said they would pursue outstanding permit and funding items.
