Consider approval to award bid to JP Excavating for the Fort Pierce Sewer Project. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: This is phase II of the Fort Pierce Sewer Project. Staff recommends awarding the bid to JP Excavating in the amount of $2,300,915. b. Consider approval to award bid to Layton Construction, LLC for the St. George Airport Air Traffic Control Tower Construction. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The Construction of the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) was advertised on St George City's Bonfire procurement portal on 4/25/25. Bids were received and opened on 5/22/25. A total of seven (7) prime contractors submitted formal bids. The bids were tabulated for mathematical correctness and were summarized. Layton Construction, LLC, was the lowest bidder for the project. The Layton Construction, LLC, total bid was $8,102,900, which is approximately lower than the Engineer's Estimate and 3% lower than the next lowest bid received by Wadman Corporation. Staff recommends awarding the bid to Layton Construction, LLC in the amount of $8,102,900. c. Consider approval to award bid to WRX Construction for the Little Valley Skatepark Project. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: A skatepark will be added to the Fields at Little Valley Community Park. This project was listed as a priority with the passage of the City of St. George Parks, Trails, and Recreation G.O. Bond. Staff recommends awarding the bid to WRX Construction in the amount of $316,850. d. Consider approval to purchase security cameras and equipment for new City Hall. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: This security camera package includes all mounts, brackets, wiring and cameras necessary for the new City Hall project. The Technology and Facilities Divisions reviewed bids from three security camera suppliers and selected SSA Tech based on combined pricing for City Hall and the Parking Garage. Staff recommends approving the purchase in the amount of $129,752.49. e. Consider approval of an agreement to purchase real property (Creekside Lot 44) from Don and Sylvia Campbell. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The City has purchased several parcels of property along the Santa Clara River in the vicinity of and within the Creekside Subdivision for flood control prevention. This parcel became available and the City was able to purchase the property. Washington County Flood Control Authority (WCFCA) has agreed to reimburse the entire $75,000 purchase price. The WCFCA reimbursement agreement was approved by the City Council on April 3, 2025. By acquiring this property, the City gains control over a critical area and reinforces flood mitigation without a financial burden. f. Consider approval of assigning a utility easement to Washington City. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: In the mid 1980's the City of St. George constructed the Quail Creek Water Treatment Plant to treat raw water from the Quail Creek Reservoir to drinking water standards. At that time, a 36-inch diameter pipeline was constructed from the QCWTP to the City, conveying drinking water to the City. Various easements were secured by the City for the construction of the 36-inch pipeline. In 2003, the City, Washington City, Santa Clara City, Ivins City, and the WCWCD constructed a joint 60-inch diameter Regional Pipeline from the QCWTP to Snow Canyon. At that time, the QCWTP operation and maintenance shifted from the City to the WCWCD. Shortly after, the City became party to the Washington County Water Conservation District's Regional Water Supply Agreement. A section of the original 36-inch St. George City pipeline that was installed in Washington City was abandoned and replaced by the Regional Pipeline. The section that was abandoned was problematic for the City to maintain as development had surrounded the pipeline alignment, making access difficult. Staff recommends approval. g. Consider approving the acceptance of a $169,890.00 grant award from the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (RMHIDTA). BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The St. George Police Department acts as the fiduciary for the Washington County Drug Task Force (WCDTF). Partnering with both the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (RMHIDTA) and the WCDTF, they collectively address the challenge of illicit drug sales in Washington County, including St. George City. A long-standing partnership exists between St. George City, WCDTF, and RMHIDTA, reflecting a history of grant reception that is utilized for various investigative and personnel costs critical to their mission. Without RMHIDTA's grant support, significant drug investigations, which have led to the seizure of thousands of pounds of illegal narcotics intended for community infiltration, would not be feasible. The RMHIDTA grant, being competitive in nature, awarded $169,890.00 to the city for the 2025 grant cycle. The required reporting metrics for the grant are evaluated annually and are well within the range of investigative work currently undertaken by the team. Staff recommends approval. h. Consider approval for an exchange of property between the City of St George and the Creekside HOA for the Santa Clara River Trail alignment. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The Santa Clara River Trail is a regional connection and will connect Santa Clara City to the Virgin River South Trail, which runs from Washington City to Sun River and connects to over 70 miles of paved trail in St George alone. Easements and property acquisitions are key to filling in the gaps along the Santa Clara River Trail. Staff recommends approval. i. Consider approval of a reimbursement agreement with Desert Canyons Land, LLC for Flowers Way improvements along 2700 East and Flowers Way near SR-7 to the future roadway connection to Southern Hills Drive. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The developer is planning to design and install improvements for Flowers Way to allow for future development and the city park. The city desires to complete roadway improvements for the extension of Flowers Way, along undevelopable areas near SR-7 and adjacent to the future city park. Staff recommends approval contingent upon review by the City's Attorney's office. 4. Public hearing to receive input on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: State Law requires the City to hold a public hearing to receive citizen input prior to final adoption of the budget which must occur before June 30th each year. This year the City will hold two public hearings to gather citizen input on the FY 2025-26 Budget. Tonight's item will be this year's first public hearing with the second public hearing planned to be held on June 19, 2025. Final adoption of the FY 2025-26 Budget is planned for June 19, 2025 following the second public hearing.

Staff recommends holding a public hearing to receive input on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget. 5.
