Commission awards Crescent Road widening contract after low bid review
Summary
Duchesne County commissioners voted unanimously Sept. 9 to award the Crescent Road widening contract following a review by county engineering consultants. The apparent low bid audited and recommended for award was recorded at $380,360; the commission directed staff to finalize contract documents.
Duchesne County commissioners unanimously approved awarding the Crescent Road widening contract after staff and the county's engineering consultant reviewed two bids.
Jeff from engineering firm Jones & DeMille reviewed the submitted bids and told the commission "everything seems to check out based on what was required on the bidding documents" and recommended awarding the contract at $380,360. A commissioner then moved to award the bid at that amount; the motion received a second and passed on a unanimous voice vote.
Why it matters: The project is intended to widen Crescent Road and was presented as a timely, on‑the‑ground infrastructure improvement. Commissioners emphasized the need to confirm that the lowest responsive bidder met all contract conditions before signatures are finalized.
What the record shows: The transcript records Jeff recommending the award to "Burdick Materials, with their date of $380,360." At the same meeting the clerk/chair read the award as being to "Verdict Materials" when calling the motion. The board voted unanimously to approve the award as stated on the record; staff and the consultant said they would prepare contract documents and forward them for signature.
Next steps: County staff said they will prepare and circulate contract documents to the awarded firm for execution and follow normal contracting procedures to verify bonding, insurance and scope before work begins.
Quote: "So with that, it'd be our recommendation that you award the project to Burdick Materials, with their date of $380,360," Jeff said during his presentation.
The commission did not record a roll‑call tally by name beyond the unanimous voice vote. The contract paperwork prepared after the meeting should confirm the awarded contractor name and the final award amount.
