Gary Sonntag and UDOT Project
Manager, Darryl Fryant, presented this item for discussion. A copy of the bid abstract for the Homestead Boulevard
Loop Road project was given to all Councilmembers. Nielson Construction was the
only company that bid on the project, with a bid of $983,078.00. The bid
exceeded the engineer’s estimate by 10% (12.59%), $109,958.00. Three bid items
that exceeded the engineer’s estimate by a significant amount included: item 2,
Traffic Control $21,000 ($16,400 over); Item 6, Survey $50,000 ($34,500 over); and
item 20, Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA) $331,100 ($51,600 over). It is understood that
Nielson Construction bid the project for construction next spring 2008; but,

project cost would be $1,444,344.44 The Utah Department of Transportation would

7. ORDINANCE-Section
9.52.040- “Posting Hand Bills without Property Owner’s Permission Prohibited”
Councilmember
Hanna-Smith presented this item. The ordiannce prohibits signs and flyers being
posted on City poles and property. The law has not been enforced and needs to
be reviewed by the Mayor and Council as to whether the ordinance should be
rescinded. The public needs to be educated on the ordinance before it can be
enforced. The Community Progress Committee suggests rescinding the ordinance
with careful review of a different approach. The ordinance is currently being enforced by
the Police Department when flyers block street signs or cover traffic box
vents. The Police Chief would like to see the ordinance stay in place and used
with discretion. The City Attorney recommended that the ordinance be amended to
exclude signs that advertise one time yard and garage sales. The ordinance
needs to be amended with a time allowance for signs to hang after an event is
complete. MOTION.
Councilmember Hanna-Smith moved for staff to draft an amended ordinance for
review, that a copy be sent to Community Progress and then to Council in draft
form for approval. Motion seconded by Councilmember Davis and carried.
