Council awards $688K street maintenance contract to Geneva Rock Products

The Fruit Heights City Council voted unanimously to award its 2026 street maintenance mill‑and‑overlay contract to Geneva Rock Products.

City staff presented a map and list of streets slated for work — including Oakmont Lane, Old Farm Road, Meeting House, Bridal Fence, 50 South, Raymond Road and cul‑de‑sacs, Mountain Road Circle, Old Lake Lane, Deerview Circle, Laurelwood and Greenfield Circle — and recommended Geneva Rock Products as the low bidder. Staff reported a bid figure during the presentation of $688,494.85. During the formal motion on the floor, the spoken motion included a slightly different number (reported in the motion as $688,004.94 and $0.85); the council did not call for a correction and approved the award unanimously.

Lane, a city staff member who presented the project, said the work is a mill‑and‑overlay (removing the top inches of asphalt and placing a new surface, typically a 2‑inch lift on these streets) and described the contractor recommendation and scope. “The roads we’re proposing to mill and overlay … the contractor that I’m recommending was the low bid,” Lane said, summarizing the list and the staff recommendation. Councilmember Eileen Moss moved to award the contract, and Councilmember Blake Winslow seconded; the motion passed with all present voting yes.

Council members noted the low bid came in well under earlier budget estimates and asked staff to identify whether additional work could be added or if contingencies were needed for soft‑spot repairs once excavation begins. Staff said the city follows American Public Works Association standards and will return to the council if scope or cost adjustments become necessary. The council approved the award and directed staff to proceed with contract execution and scheduling of the work.
