Cedar Fort council approves inspection, engineering and repair contracts and unanimously agrees to send safety letter to CMC over truck traffic
Summary
After a resident described hazardous semi‑truck activity on West Canyon Road, the council unanimously voted to send a drafted letter to CMC and approved multiple vendor contracts and repair bids, including inspection services (AJ‑1), engineering services (Sunrise Engineering) and Preferred Paving for road repairs.
The Cedar Fort Town Council on May 5 unanimously approved several operations contracts and bids, and voted to send a drafted letter to CMC Rock after hearing a resident describe hazardous commercial truck traffic on West Canyon Road.
Resident Alex Bergen‑Hansen told the council he has observed semi‑trucks entering and exiting West Canyon Road onto SR‑73 in a manner he described as dangerous, citing skid marks and near misses. Law enforcement representatives told the council they face limits enforcing weight restrictions and certain truck regulations on non‑state roads. Councilmembers discussed options including alternate haul routes, future road realignment, installation of traffic controls, additional signage and the possibility of ordinances restricting commercial vehicle traffic.
The council moved unanimously to send the drafted letter to CMC raising the safety concerns and urging remedial action. The motion was made by Councilman Eric Boud and seconded by Councilman Travis Giles and passed with all five members voting yes.
On routine operations, the council approved AJ‑1 Inspection Services, LLC (Lehi) as the town’s building inspection and plan‑review provider after reviewing four proposals. The motion to approve AJ‑1 was made by Councilman Eric Boud; the recorded second is incomplete in the minutes and is not specified in the transcript.
The council also approved Sunrise Engineering as the town’s engineering services provider after members cited positive experience with Sunrise on water projects. The council approved Rattlesnake Plumbing to replace a cracked toilet at the Community Center and approved Preferred Paving’s road‑repair bid in an amount not to exceed $19,700, explicitly excluding the West Canyon Road section discussed earlier. Councilmembers also approved High Mountain Construction to install five signs on West Canyon Road; the town discussed hardware, posts and future signage projects.
Council discussed a damaged culvert near the recreation center and possible coordination with Geneva Rock on culvert and roadway repairs associated with future water agreements. The Town Contractor recruitment item was deferred because no applications had been received.
All contract and bid approvals shown in the minutes passed by unanimous roll call votes. No contract amounts beyond the Preferred Paving cap of $19,700 and the five‑sign installation were specified in the minutes.
