GARDEN CITY, Utah.  July 10, 2014.  Zan Murray, the town’s engineer, reported 300 West will be ready to bid out in about two weeks. The work to be done will be installation of the required culverts and putting down some pit run gravel.  This will allow people to drive on the gravel road from the Logan Road to Heritage Park.  He noted that he is working with UDOT in order to make sure that the roads will connect properly when it comes time to asphalt this road.  Murray indicated that he is following some specifications that are a bit more robust than the City’s requirements. 

The work to be done on 75 North and 350 South are also ready to go out to bid.  There was a public meeting last Saturday, and it went well.  The plans for these two projects are about 90 percent completed and will be finished as soon as possible.

Murray indicated that he would have costs ready for the meeting with involved individuals on Friday at 11 a.m.  Mayor Spuhler indicated that a telephone call would work and save Zan from having to drive over.  He noted that there are no issues with 75 North.  There are some issues on 350 South that should be resolved at the meeting.

There are still some environmental issues on 150 South, as well as consideration of the turn around, and how to handle the drainage ditch.  The road slope and number of stalls are also being considered.  That project can then go to bid.

The water master plan is being redone taking into account some additional data.  The tiger grant will not be announced until sometime in August.
