Roosevelt City Council gave concurrence for awarding the State Street pedestrian crossing project to the low, UDOT-certified bidder, a federal- and UDOT-funded project with multiple bidders.

Public works staff said the bid process drew seven bids, five of which were under the engineer's estimate. The low bidder came in at roughly 67–68% of the engineer's estimate, saving approximately $100,000 from the estimate; staff asked the council to concur with awarding the contract in the amount of $596,291.25. As part of the procurement rules tied to federal/UDOT funding, staff explained they would not provide the bidder's name until after the award is accepted; staff expects to have the bidder name available by Friday after award paperwork is processed.

Staff projected a construction start in December or January, with a latest practical start by March 1 to ensure channel work is completed by mid-April deadlines. The project includes contingencies and a city match commitment up to $897,000; staff said any unused federal funds would not require a city match for the underspent portion. Council moved, seconded and approved concurrence by voice vote.

Council members asked whether the price could increase; staff explained the contract is unit-price based and could increase if overruns occur or scope changes are requested, but a contingency was included in the budget and an under-run would reduce local match obligations.
