County approves asbestos abatement, facade and boundary adjustments for library and clubhouse projects

The Davis County Commission approved several facilities contracts and related agreements May 5, including an unexpected environmental abatement bill at the Bountiful branch library and a boundary adjustment with Bountiful City to improve parking flow.

Lane Rows, representing the county facilities group, told commissioners crews uncovered additional asbestos‑containing adhesive while removing bookshelves during the library renovation; the county presented an amendment to Excel General Contracting for environmental abatement in the amount of $13,036.48. The board approved the amendment.

The commission also approved a contract with Legacy Ridge Exteriors LLC for exterior façade work at the Valley View Clubhouse for $14,742, and an amendment with BrightView Landscape Services Inc. for ongoing landscape maintenance tied to newly purchased health‑department properties for an additional $5,317.52 covering the annual cost. Commissioners noted the projects support ongoing facility upkeep and community uses.

Facilities staff presented a UDOT easement impact finding for lamppost installation along State Road 2273 that requires limited easements onto the Davis Park Golf Course to complete lighting work between SR‑89 and 200 North in Kaysville; staff said the impact to county property was minimal. The commission also approved a boundary adjustment agreement with Bountiful City associated with the Bountiful branch library renovation; staff said the change improves parking flow and access for both the county senior center and the library.

All items (12–16) were approved by voice vote. Staff said formal agreements and impact studies will be finalized as the projects proceed.
