Springdale council considers $1.36 million award to Interstate Rock for River Park expansion
Summary
Staff said Interstate Rock submitted the lowest responsible bid of $1,355,775.80 for the George A. Barker River Park expansion; council discussed funding sources, a start-date adjustment to April 30 and a small contingency before moving to award the contract.
The Springdale Town Council on April 22 reviewed bids and moved to award the George A. Barker River Park expansion contract to Interstate Rock, the lowest responsible bidder. Ryan Goobler, public-works staff, told the council the successful bid was $1,355,775.80 and that the town’s architect and attorney reviewed the contract.
Goobler noted two administrative details: a typographical error in the contract that should read "March 2026," and a change in the contract commencement date to April 30 so the contractor’s 120-day construction window begins then. "They came in with a bid of 1,355,775.80," Goobler said, and added the start date will be amended to April 30 so the 120-day timeline aligns with contractor availability.
Council members asked about park access during construction, the pre-construction meeting and how long the park might be inaccessible. Goobler said those items will be discussed at the pre-construction meeting. Funding for the phase-one work includes a county TRT match of $684,000, $200,000 from Utah outdoor recreation grants, approximately $70,000 from general funds and the remainder from fees; staff also noted a roughly $12,000 contingency discussed after value-engineering conversations.
A council member moved to approve the contract between the town and Rock Products/Interstate Rock in the amount of $1,355,775.80 for construction services for the George A. Barker River Park project; the motion was seconded. The provided transcript records the motion and second but does not include a complete roll-call tally in the excerpt.
Next steps: staff will finalize the contract amendment to set the April 30 commencement date and complete required pre-construction coordination and scheduling with the contractor.
