Board awards $154,000 contract for artificial‑turf playground surfacing at two elementary schools
Summary
The board approved Rocky Mountain Turf to install artificial turf and rubber underlayment at Daniel's Canyon Elementary and Old Mill Elementary for a combined bid of $154,000; administrators said the phased upgrade improves accessibility and will be scheduled over the summer.
The Wasatch County School Board awarded a contract to Rocky Mountain Turf totaling $154,000 to install artificial turf surfacing with underlying rubber padding at Daniel's Canyon Elementary and Old Mill Elementary.
Facilities lead Zach explained he obtained two bids and that combining the two sites reduced mobilization costs, discounting each site’s per‑unit price. The work will upgrade main playground areas to artificial turf with a safety pad beneath to improve access and surface consistency; teacher leaders and community members had said the surface will increase play access for students with mobility needs.
Board members discussed phasing for other playgrounds and confirmed the two sites had capital funds available for this summer. The motion to award the contract passed by voice vote.
