Council approves master agreement with UDOT to coordinate I‑84/US‑89 REACH work
Summary
The Uintah City Council approved a master agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation to coordinate relocation, protection and inspection of city utilities during the I‑84/US‑89 Interchange REACH construction project; city betterments would be handled by separate agreements.
The Uintah City Council voted May 19 to approve a master agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) to set the framework for utility relocations and other work tied to the I‑84/US‑89 Interchange REACH construction project.
Chair (S2) said the agreement sets roles and responsibilities, explaining that UDOT will cover eligible costs while the city will design and construct required work and review plans. "This agreement does not approve every individual piece of work that they need to do," Chair (S2) said, adding it provides coordination and review time to protect city utilities and residents.
Council members asked whether the agreement should explicitly include optional betterments such as conduit for future utilities; presenters and council members said such betterments would be pursued through separate agreements and paid by the city if requested. One council member disclosed a personal conflict related to the UDOT project but said they would remain in the discussion after making the disclosure on the record.
The council approved the master agreement on a voice vote; the Chair announced the agreement will move forward and be used as the coordinating framework with UDOT. The contract citation and specific payment schedules were not listed in the public remarks and are recorded in the city administrative file.
