CITY BUSINESS: 6.1 Review/Discuss/Approve/Deny the UDOT Relocation Agreement: City Manager Brandon Green presented the UDOT relocation agreement with the City Council. The purpose for this agreement is because of the culinary water line that is being relocated due to the US-89 Construction project. UDOT and the City have agreed that a new waterline will be located in Country Way to 400 N. The City and UDOT have also agreed that UDOT will bore under US-89 to install a new water main that will provide culinary water to areas along the west 1  April 21, 2020 side of US-89. The City and UDOT have been working on this agreement for several months and both parties feel comfortable with the agreement. City Manager Green also explained that there is no cost to the City for the relocation of the waterline or the boring for a new waterline under US-89. Public Works Superintendent Darren Frandsen also explained the need for this project and how the project will require that water service be interrupted in order to make the necessary tie-ins to the existing water system. The contractor that UDOT will be using on this portion of the project is Brinkerhoff Excavation. Both UDOT and Brinckerhoff will be notifying residents in advance of any water service interruptions and providing an estimated for these interruptions. Residents will have adequate time to prepare but water service should not be out for more than 5 hours. Mr. Frandsen also reported that Brinkerhoff will be starting the project by the first week in May and expect that it will take approximately 3 weeks to complete. Additionally, the UTA Park and Ride will be closed. UTA has posted signs at the lot asking users to travel north to the Layton Park and Ride Lot.
