Centerville City will complete two major projects this summer. The first is a road rebuild. Briarwood Drive will be rebuilt after installation of new irrigation and culinary water lines. 1250 North will be rebuilt after installation of a culinary water line.

To reduce the instances of utility companies tearing up the new road in the future, four-inch conduit banks will be installed 24 inches deep at four locations. This project also allows those providers to complete infrastructure upgrades before the road is re-asphalted, Public Works Director Mike Carlson said. 

Post Construction came in as the low bidder on the project $826,003.25. Three other contractors bid on the project: BHI ($868,415.25000); Staker Parsons ($920,033.53); and Black Forest Paving ($1,207,498.250). Post Construction’s bid was significantly lower than the city engineer’s estimate of $948,822.55.

“We were very pleased to get a bid from a contractor that we’ve worked with before,” City Engineer Kevin Campbell told the city council June 4. “We’ve worked with them quite a bit in the past. They’re a very reputable and capable contractor out of the Ogden area and so we’re just really pleased that we’re able to get a bid that was under the estimate that’ll keep us under our budgeted amount for street rebuilds.”

Post Construction will completely replace asphalt on the two streets, sidewalk, curb and gutter will be removed in areas determined by  the city engineer and the concrete wheelchair ramp will be removed and replaced. Four-inch conduit banks will be installed 24 inches deep at four locations.

Briarwood Drive was scheduled to begin in late-June with completion in about three weeks, followed by the reconstruction of 1250 North. (At some point during the project, Peachtree Drive will also receive an asphalt patch). Both roads were expected to remain open to local traffic during the project.

The city is also completing some maintenance on its culinary water system.

On 400 West and just south of Parrish Lane the city has been working on a tie in that will help with the street widening project, Public Works Director Mike Carlson said. “We made a deal with the fire department if we can get rid of some of the main, we still can have fire protection.”

The rest of the project is ongoing maintenance such as replacing pressure relief valves and repiping a booster pump, Carlson said. 

The bid for this project was awarded to Ormond Construction for $110,435. Ormond is also the contractor for the 1250 North culinary waterline project. Two other companies bid on the culinary water maintenance project: Trump Construction ($118,250) and Cliff Johnson Excavating ($124,888).
