Tooele redevelopment agency approves $340,512.80 storm-drain contract tied to business park land sale

The Redevelopment Agency of Tooele City approved an agreement Sept. 2, 2026 with Broken Arrow, Inc., for the 1200 West Storm Drain and Roadway Fill Project, according to draft minutes in the agency's Sept. 16 packet. ^[2]

Board member Justin Brady moved to approve Resolution 2026-05 and Ed Hansen seconded. Jon Gossett, Brady, Hansen and Dave McCall voted aye, and it passed 4-0. ^[2]

The land sale

The resolution says the agency approved a real estate purchase and sale agreement with Mountain West Vinyl, LLC, on June 3, 2026, through Resolution 2026-03, for about 642,211 square feet in the Tooele Business Park zoning district. ^[1]

It says that under paragraph 12(c) of that agreement, the agency agreed to complete backfill, culvert, storm-drain and related work on Lot 2 to prepare for road construction. ^[1]

City Engineer Paul Hansen told the board the project places fill in an existing borrow pit in the business park and installs about 400 feet of 48-inch storm drain, as required under the purchase agreement, according to the draft minutes. ^[2]

The bids

The bid tabulation shows bids opened Aug. 27, 2026. The resolution says Broken Arrow's $340,512.80 bid was the lowest responsive, responsible bid, and the draft minutes say seven bids were received. ^[1][2]

The resolution authorizes the agency's executive director to sign the agreement and allocates a $17,000 contingency for changed conditions. Staff described the contingency as 5% of the bid; 5% of $340,512.80 is $17,025.64. ^[1][2]
