Commission approves $32,090 engineering agreement for Dutch John Airport pavement preservation
Summary
Daggett County approved an engineering agreement with SIVCO Engineering for the Dutch John Airport 2026 pavement preservation project; the engineering fee was quoted at $32,090 and the project budget cited at roughly $250,000 with a 10% county share alongside the Department of Aeronautics.
Daggett County commissioners approved an engineering agreement with SIVCO Engineering for the Dutch John Airport 2026 pavement preservation project. The engineering proposal, which includes construction oversight, was quoted at $32,090 and staff said that amount is included in the project budget.
Staff described the overall project budget as roughly $250,000 and confirmed Daggett County’s share is approximately 10% in coordination with the Department of Aeronautics. Speaker 6, participating remotely, said the engineering agreement is the standard form used for individual projects and that the work is project-specific.
Commissioners discussed coordination with UDOT and the Department of Aeronautics, noting that UDOT will assist with crack sealing when a surface treatment is part of a larger project but will not fund isolated crack-seal projects alone. The group also raised a separate concern about whether a dirt runway had been marked as permanently closed in FAA/airfield records; staff said they would clarify wording and ensure posting meets FAA requirements to avoid liability.
A motion to approve the engineering agreement was made and seconded; commissioners voted “Aye” and authorized execution of the contract. Staff said they will proceed with procurement for construction once contracts and timing are finalized, weather permitting.
Action and next steps: County staff to finalize contract execution with SIVCO, proceed to contractor procurement for construction work, and confirm FAA posting and any runway-status language with the Department of Aeronautics.
