Staff flags unauthorized striping by contractor on road to Highway 89
Summary
City public works reported Interstate Barricades painted double center lines and part of a white edge line near Highway 89 without authorization; staff raised cost and procurement concerns after prior painting work and a formal $10,375 bid to re-stripe the road.
Mayor Cutler convened the Uintah City staff meeting at 1:00 p.m. on Nov. 10, 2025, where Public Works reported that a contractor, Interstate Barricades, had painted double center lines from the bridge to Highway 89 and part of a white edge line without city authorization. Staff said Mr. Burton contacted the company to stop the work and that emails attached to a bid show no explicit approval had been granted.
Public Works noted a formal bid of $10,375 to re-stripe the road and recalled a separate painting job of about $10,000 within the previous 12 months by a different company. Staff expressed concern about paying full price for work done without authorization and the prospect of spending roughly $20,000 on paint in a single year. Mr. Burton also warned that work adjacent to the railroad requires certified flaggers and a rail master, which affects contractor pricing and procurement decisions.
City staff did not take a vote during the staff meeting but directed further follow-up on the procurement and payment questions and requested documentation of the contractor communications and bids. The meeting record notes no formal motion; staff agreed to investigate payment options and contractor responsibility before presenting a recommendation to the council.
