City awards $1.285 million contract for 200 South–300 West roundabout
Summary
The American Fork City Council approved a $1,285,000 contract with Newman Construction for a roundabout at 200 South and 300 West, choosing a partial-closure traffic-control plan and authorizing a $128,500 contingency to cover construction and engineering costs.
The American Fork City Council on April 14 approved a $1,285,000 contract with Newman Construction to build a roundabout at 200 South and 300 West, and authorized a $128,500 construction and engineering contingency.
Public Works Director Sam Kelly told the council the project was bid with both full-closure and partial-closure traffic-control options and that pricing for both approaches came in the same. "The pricing was the same for both options," Kelly said, and the council selected the partial-closure approach to maintain key access points. The city anticipates substantial completion around Sept. 30 and final completion in mid-October, barring material or site delays.
Council members discussed the trade-offs between closures. Mayor Bradley J. Frost urged flexibility in work hours, including nights and weekends, to reduce impacts. Councilmember Ryan Hunter moved to accept the Newman bid with the partial closure and the contingency; the motion passed with Tim Holley, Ernie John, Ryan Hunter and Staci Carroll voting yes.
The contract approval directs staff to proceed with scheduling and public notification about impacts and detours. The city will monitor the schedule and contract performance and report significant changes to the council.
