Park City board approves guaranteed maximum price for Dozier athletic complex; board cites bonds and reserves to cover costs

At a Park City Board of Education meeting, members present approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for phase 4 of the Dozier athletic complex, authorizing district staff and contractor Hogan to proceed under the terms described in board materials.

The presenter described site changes and scope: a planned north-end building was moved because of a 100-foot easement, and the home-side bleachers will be prefabricated concrete with integrated locker rooms, restrooms, concessions and a press box rather than the existing metal bleachers. The project team highlighted that the site currently uses portable toilets and that permanent restroom and locker room facilities are a material part of the work.

The district’s materials listed several high-dollar line items. The presenter identified concrete at $4,400,000 and said the district would transfer $1,700,000 from contingency funds set aside for the Treasure Mountain Sports Complex. The GMP figure presented verbally in the meeting materials appeared near $15 million as a rounded total; the transcript’s numeric string for the exact final figure was garbled. The presenter said the GMP would cover Hogan and the contractor teams’ work and asked the board to approve that amount for the project.

Board members were told the district completed value engineering to reduce cost, including a $350,000 saving on the home-side bleachers, simplifying Park City branding (no lighting on the signage), removing officials’ lockers, eliminating a canopy while leaving structural footings for a future canopy, and pulling approximately $445,000 of landscaping to be bid separately and scaled back. An alternate to convert the south end zone from turf to a track surface was rejected; the south end zone will remain turf.

To fund the project, the presenter described a mix of sources: roughly $6.5 million tied to bonds for the Treasure Mountain Sports Complex, an estimated $800,000 in bond interest earnings, approximately $750,000 from high-school bond allocation, about $3.5 million from capital reserves and about $2.5 million from an M&O-side reserve; district staff also mentioned setting aside additional funds in the FY27 capital budget (the transcript number for that FY27 set-aside was unclear). The presenter characterized the funding plan as an initial snapshot subject to change.

Unidentified Speaker 5 moved “to approve the GMP, as stated.” Unidentified Speaker 3 seconded. The board members present voted by voice; the presiding speaker noted four board members were present to approve the item.

The district did not provide a precise, unambiguous number in the audio transcript for the final GMP line-item total; the district’s presentation materials distributed to the board should be consulted for the authoritative contract language and exact GMP figure. The board approved the GMP as presented and will proceed under the terms described in the board materials.
