Lehi development tracker

Public Works storage building

Lehi proposes a concrete storage building to protect city equipment from winter weather, the first phase of public works campus expansion after a 2022 study found the campus at capacity. A $10,298,426 construction agreement with Hughes General Contractors is on the Oct. 27 consent agenda; all phases are estimated at $12.4 million. The city also bought land on Main Street near 2500 West in 2024 for future streets operations.

    Agreement with Hughes General Contractors for the public works storage building

    Pending

    Resolution 2026-67 would approve a base-bid agreement of $10,298,426 with Hughes General Contractors, Inc. of North Salt Lake for the Public Works Storage Building (Package 02, building construction). Staff say the public works campus has reached capacity and that a 2022 study found more office and storage space is needed. The city chose a concrete building it expects to last 50 years at minimum and possibly 100 or more, and built the first phase around protecting city equipment from winter weather. Work is to finish within three months of the effective date, with monthly payment on invoice. Hughes must provide performance and payment bonds for 100 percent of the contract. The packet puts the cost of all phases at $12,411,256, including $1,518,816 for excavation and backfill the city approved earlier and $594,014 for design, engineering and construction management. The agenda lists this as a consent item.
