Naples' 2000 East project estimated at $1.8 million against a $1.65 million budget
An engineer told the Naples council in August that the 2000 East project's estimated cost was $1.8 million against a $1.65 million budget. The council asked for the cost of a continuous sidewalk on the west side before bids go out.
Continuing story: Auditing Naples
The estimated cost of Naples' 2000 East road project is $1.8 million, about $145,000 more than the $1.65 million budgeted, the project engineer told the city council on Aug. 13, 2026, according to the minutes. [1]
The engineer, from CIVCO Engineering, said the city won't know the actual cost for sure until the project is put out for bid. [1]
The sidewalk
Council members discussed whether to add a continuous sidewalk along the west side of 2000 East. According to the minutes, the discussion included that without a continuous sidewalk the plans would have people crossing the road at a blind hill. No decision was made, and the council asked for the cost of the full west-side sidewalk at the next meeting. [1]
The agenda for the Sept. 10, 2026 meeting lists a discussion on the estimated cost of additional sidewalk on 2000 East. [2]
Schedule
The engineer said in August that right-of-way documents and property acquisition were underway and would probably take until the end of the year. He said bids should go out this year and construction would begin in the spring. [1]
At the July 9 meeting, the engineer said the next step was to show the Utah Department of Transportation the plans, and that construction would probably begin next spring. [4]
In the budget
The road capital projects fund in the budget worksheet Naples filed with the State Auditor has a 2000 East project line showing $212,354.86 spent in fiscal 2023 and $305,984.51 in fiscal 2024, with no amount for fiscal 2026 or 2027. [3]
The $1.8 million figure is a preliminary estimate given at a council meeting, not a bid or a contract. 2000 East and the 2500 South bond project are separate projects.
