Emery County awards general-plan review contract to BioWest
Summary
County commissioners approved a contract with BioWest to revise Emery County’s general plan and add five state-required elements; the contract is a revision (not a full rewrite) and will include public hearings and planning-and-zoning review.
Emery County commissioners voted to approve a contract with consultant BioWest to review and update the county general plan.
Speaker 3 explained the county solicited bids and selected BioWest to perform a revision of the existing plan rather than a complete rewrite. "We've decided to go through the bid process," the speaker said, adding that the scope is a review and revision that adds five state-required elements. The speaker said public hearings and planning-and-zoning review will be part of the process.
An unidentified commissioner asked whether BioWest had performed plans for other counties; speakers confirmed that BioWest has prior experience and has been used by state entities.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval of the contract; the motion carried. The meeting did not disclose the contract’s dollar amount or the schedule for public hearings during the session.
