Daggett County authority approves $85,408 change order for clinic X‑ray room

On May 19 at the Daggett County Courthouse, the Daggett County Municipal Building Authority approved Change Order No. 13, authorizing $85,408.53 to cover electrical and infrastructure work required to make an X‑ray machine operable at the Daggett County Health and Community Center.

The project manager told the board that the architect, engineer and the X‑ray supplier were on site to coordinate with the electrical contractor and that "this change order does cover all those bases." He acknowledged the amount "is over our anticipated amount, but it is still within our project contingency." A committee member moved to approve the change order and the chair seconded; the motion carried and the board authorized the project manager to sign the document and provide a copy to the auditor's office.

The change order was discussed as part of general project updates on the new clinic, which also included progress reports that crews had completed elevator installation and were continuing interior work. Board members said the automation for the water treatment system is about a month from operation, and staff reported ongoing roof work at the old plant.

Other routine business at the meeting included approval of the minutes from the May 12 Municipal Building Authority meeting and acknowledgment of financial reports. The transcript records a cash summary figure of $248,294.53 as of May 15, 2026; the disbursement summary for 05/10/2026–05/15/2026 was presented and approved, though the exact disbursement total in the record was not specified clearly.

The meeting closed after members confirmed there was no need for a closed session. The board adjourned at 10:11 a.m.
