Authority reviews clinic building design, approves a work-order directive for foundation substrate

Daggett County Municipal Building Authority members reviewed the new clinic building design and discussed steps to address subsurface water issues so footings can proceed.

Speaker 4 reported that the architect and interior designer finalized the color palette and asked members to raise any objections; the group agreed to leave a color board for further review. On materials, Speaker 4 summarized discussions with the contractor about replacing thin brick with full brick, saying the contractor "assured us that they would take a lot of change" but confirmed the specified product was compatible with local weather and building design. Speaker 5 asked whether carpeting should be used; Speaker 4 said commercial-grade finishes and neutral metal partitions were specified for durability and graffiti resistance.

Separately, Speaker 1 described a recent meeting with the architect, engineers and contractor about a water issue at the clinic site and said the contractor had been issued a work order directive "to make some adjustments with adding some cobble to the subsurface the sub surface, that'll go below the footing and, are working towards getting that delivered and installed so that they can proceed with the footings." Speaker 2 and Speaker 5 cautioned that not all testing and material availability had yet been completed, and that additional adjustments at the base material could be required based on tests.

No formal vote to change construction materials or approve a change-order amount occurred during the meeting. The Authority requested that staff continue coordination with the architect and contractor and that members review the color board outside the meeting if they have concerns.
