Summary
Council authorized a professional-services contract with Galloway & Company for schematic design, construction documents and construction administration of a new public works facility; contract phases total $876,000 in design and management fees.
Midvale City Council on May 6 approved a professional services agreement with Galloway & Company to design, develop and provide construction management for a proposed new public works facility.
City staff said Galloway completed a needs assessment and master plan in 2024 that identified space requirements: a dedicated decant station for waste processing, covered storage (approximately 21,600 square feet) for vehicles and equipment, climate‑controlled storage (4,300 square feet), a fleet repair shop (about 10,500 square feet), a truck/vehicle wash bay and roughly 13,500 square feet of office administration space. The plan anticipates demolition and rebuilding of many existing public works structures on the selected site.
The contract the council approved covers schematic design ($31,400), design development ($175,200), construction documents ($306,600), permitting and bidding ($87,600) and construction administration ($175,200) for a total not‑to‑exceed design and management fee of $876,000. Staff said the project is expected to proceed in multiple phases and that construction could begin as early as late fall with parking-lot and site work, then underground utilities and phased building construction.
Council members asked about procurement and why the city selected Galloway. Staff said Galloway conducted the needs assessment and has relevant experience on similar projects; the team negotiated the contract to include fixed fees for phases rather than a percentage of final construction cost. The motion to approve the contract passed unanimously.
