The Wasatch County School District board on May 15 approved several contracts and a property sale tied to the district’s capital projects.
The board accepted the low bid from Morgan Pavement to perform slurry‑seal and patching work on parking lots and playgrounds for fiscal year 2025 at $83,900, a figure staff said came in under the $105,000 budget line. Business administrator Jason Watt told the board the bid process used standardized specifications and square footage estimates to ensure comparable bids, and that some patching work was covered by grease‑trap funds from last year.
"It really came in under budget," Jason Watt said, reporting that the district had budgeted $105,000 for the work.
The board also approved a contract to install precast concrete culverts/bridges under Sixth West to cross the Sage Creek Canal where the new high school will sit. Staff emphasized the work will not reroute the canal but will place pre‑cast elements to carry the roadway and utilities. Project leadership reported the high school construction is ahead of schedule and on budget; crews have placed decking and roofing on portions of the structure and are completing foundations for the physical‑education facility.
Finally, the board approved a purchase agreement for MTECH to acquire 3.95 acres adjacent to the new campus for $522,000. Jason Watt said the purchase clarifies footprints between the district and MTECH, and that MTECH has agreed to participate in costs for nearby roadwork.
Each of the motions was moved, seconded and approved on voice votes. The board did not record roll‑call tallies for individual members in the public transcript.
Board materials indicate the projects will proceed as planned; staff said further contract documents and exhibits are available online for review.
