Summary
The Hurricane City Council approved a $498,998 contract for 700 West pavement rehabilitation, selected Big D for construction manager/general contractor services on a new city office and police station (subject to final contract review), approved a regional stormwater MOU with neighboring cities and granted a 35‑day extension on the Sand Hollow Mesa development agreement.
The Hurricane City Council on Monday approved several contracts and interlocal agreements as it sought to advance road, capital and regional stormwater work.
The council voted to award the 700 West pavement rehabilitation contract to Western Rock for $498,998. Arthur (public works; Speaker 20) recommended roto‑milling and cement stabilization of the base before paving and said the schedule calls for work to start after school is out and finish by July. "Our low bid was Western Rock at basically 500,000," Arthur said, and staff recommended the company based on a similar, recently completed project on Old Highway 91.
The council also approved an agreement to retain a construction manager/general contractor team to work through design and construction of a new city office and police station. Kaiden (Speaker 12) said the selection committee received 13 proposals and ranked Big D first; Big D representative Judd Bundy (Speaker 5) told the council his team is locally based and that superintendents assigned to the project have public safety building experience. The motion to award the CM/GC services was made subject to final contract review by the city attorney.
Separately, the council authorized joining a Southwest Utah stormwater coalition by approving resolution 2026‑19, a memorandum of understanding described by staff as non‑financial and focused on regional coordination of MS4/stormwater practices.
Council members also voted to grant the applicant a 35‑day extension on the Sand Hollow Mesa development agreement to allow further negotiations in closed session.
