Park City picks Option 1 for 2026 street rehabilitation, approves truck purchase and contractor change order

Park City’s council approved the 2026 street rehabilitation program and several related expenditures during the March 10 meeting.

Gina of public works presented two options. Staff recommended Option 1, which included full-depth reconstruction of 77th Street from Hydraulic Avenue to the east city limits and other full-depth and full-depth-reclamation segments; staff estimated Option 1 at $1.6 million and Option 2 at about $1.5 million. After brief discussion, the council approved Option 1 by motion and roll-call vote (6-0). Staff said the project is budgeted from the special streets and highway fund.

On related fleet needs, staff requested authorization to purchase an F-600 truck with fabrication and equipment from Master Tech Truck and Equipment to replace an inoperable 2001 F-350 and to support street operations and snow response (including a plow and a brining system). The staff report listed funding components in the meeting (the transcript contains truncated line-item figures); the council approved the purchase by motion (vote 6-0). The staff presenter said the remaining funding would come from the vehicle fund and the special streets and highway fund.

Separately, staff asked the council to approve change order number two to Pearson Construction to add curb replacement and extra crack sealing after adding streets to the mill-and-overlay scope. The change order amount appears as a figure in the staff report but portions of that number were truncated in the transcript; council approved the change order and noted funding will come from the special streets and highway fund.

Council members expressed support for addressing a high-priority corridor (77th and Hydraulic) and for in-house brining capabilities to improve winter response. No member opposed the motions.
