Daggett County MBA approves purchase of 22,000-gallon tank for Manila Park, eyes CIB supplemental funding
Summary
The Daggett County Municipal Building Authority approved an $8,682.50 purchase order for a used 22,000-gallon water tank to be sited at Manila Park to support park irrigation, new clinic landscaping and as a potential fire-suppression resource; staff said they will pursue supplemental funding from CIB for infrastructure work.
The Daggett County Municipal Building Authority on Nov. 18 approved a purchase order for a used water tank the board said will serve park irrigation, a new clinic’s limited landscaping needs and as a supplemental source for wildland and structure-fire response.
Jesse, a staff member who presented the item, said the tank offered for sale north of Farson is a 12-foot-diameter unit with about 22,000 gallons of capacity and was being sold for $7,500; transport would be charged at $5.50 per mile. "We'll get the tank in Manila Park for the Daggett County Park here in Manila," Jesse said, and added that the tank "would fill up a few fire trucks as well." The authority approved the purchase order in the amount of $8,682.50 by voice vote.
The board discussed how to pay for the tank and the associated infrastructure. Jesse and other members said the purchase could be funded initially from the park code fund (TRCC) if a supplemental request to CIB is not approved, but the intent is to pursue a CIB supplemental application to reimburse at least part of the cost. Board members stressed they need a project description and condition estimates for any supplemental application; staff said Crystal and Candace were coordinating the AIA document and supplemental paperwork.
Board members also discussed the broader project costs. Jesse estimated a functional tank-plus-pump-and-lines system could be completed for roughly $15,000 as a lower-end figure, with higher-end park remediation and clinic landscaping work folded into a larger combined scope. Separately, groundwater mitigation connected to the clinic construction was discussed as likely being in the neighborhood of $700,000; board members spoke about prorating contingencies consistent with the project's loan/grant proportions.
The authority's motion to approve the purchase order named a vendor (listed in the meeting materials as Lou Arnebel) and specified the amount of $8,682.50. The motion was made by an unidentified board member and seconded by another member; the vote was recorded by voice as 'Aye.'
Next steps: staff will pursue the CIB supplemental application (timeline options discussed included January or February submittal), finalize scope and cost estimates for the infrastructure work, and confirm whether TRCC funds would be used as interim financing if a CIB reimbursement is delayed or denied.
