City Says Northwest Substation Building Will Be Torn Down and Rebuilt After Contractor Problems
Summary
Staff told the council that the contractor for the Northwest substation building let go of a subcontractor after concerns about missing bonding piers; city staff said the building likely will be torn down and restarted, moving the reenergization timeline to late November or December.
The council heard an update on the Northwest substation construction: staff reported contractor and subcontractor issues that will delay completion. Jess (speaker 13) said the building contractor (Cash Valley Electric) dropped the subcontractor responsible for the building portion after staff learned critical bonding piers had been omitted. "They are actually probably gonna tear that building down Tuesday ... and restart construction on the actual building portion itself," Jess said, and staff now estimate completion and reenergization around late November or December.
Council members and staff clarified that the project label in staff materials was misnamed (Northwest, not Southwest) and discussed coordination at future meetings as the contractor restarts work.
