Quichapa Wells rehabilitation
Cedar City is rehabilitating its Quichapa wells, part of the system that supplies drinking water. Two bids sat on the Oct. 14, 2026 consent agenda: $574,970 from Widdison Well Services and $801,365 from Grimshaw Drilling. The agenda does not say whether they cover separate pieces of work or compete for the same job, so the two amounts should not be added into a project cost. A budget slide in the same packet shows a first-quarter Water Fund adjustment of $1.5 million labeled for a well chlorination system, Quichapa well rehabilitation and power studies, which suggests the bids are part of a larger effort but does not tie any bid to it. Whether the council awarded either contract is not yet in a posted record.

The council approved the consent agenda unanimously. It included board changes (Emily Rhodes replaces Matt Bolus on Active Transportation, Sam Dodd replaces Jyl Shuler on the Airport Board, Chris Haught replaces Brent Sorenson on the Library Board, Heather Johnson reappointed to Leisure Services), transfer of a ladder truck to another community, a crossing guard for Canyon View, surplus items, a $574,970 award to Widdison Well Services and an $801,365 award to Grimshaw Drilling for the Quichapa Wells rehabilitation, and a $117,500.05 change order on the 100 East roadway project. Councilmember Phillips asked why the bills included portable toilets for the Industrial Fort Cedar Road project; the city manager said staff would find out.

Quichapa Wells rehabilitation bids
Discussed · 5-0
Widdison Well Services was low bidder on both contracts but told the city it could not finish all four wells in the time allowed, so the lowest cost is for Widdison to take wells five and eight and Grimshaw Drilling wells six and seven. The item went to the consent agenda.
