Council approves JUB phase 1 engineering contract for flood project, limits commitment to engineering only
Summary
Council approved the JUB contract to complete the phase 1 engineering for a flood-control project (FEMA $97,000; UDOT contribution $43,000) and agreed not to proceed with the $3 million phase 2 construction commitment; the city agreed to pay ~ $8,400 to close the contract and allow invoicing, pending legal counsel review.
Council reviewed the status of a multi-phase flood-control project and approved moving forward only with phase 1 (the engineering portion), not the $3 million construction phase 2. Staff said FEMA had approved $97,000 and UDOT offered $43,000 to fund the engineering work; however, the city needs to sign the contract and cover a small local shortfall so invoicing can begin.
A council member explained the recommended path: complete and invoice phase 1 so the city retains awarded funds but do not accept the $3 million construction commitment. The contract amendment to remove phase 2 was circulated and the council moved to approve the JUB contract for phase 1 pending legal counsel review. Council approved the motion by roll call.
