TC Report October 14, 2026

Fire Board
●​ Chief Decker projected that we expect to receive approximately $3 million in sales tax revenue a
year. This will allow us to look at reducing property tax revenues by approximately $1.1 million.
●​ There will be additional costs in our budget to build, equip and staff the new Sand Hollow Fire
Station.
●​ The board awarded the construction of the new Sand Hollow Fire Station to SIRQ. The bid came
in approximately $2 million less than the original estimated cost.
●​ The design of the new Kolob Fire Station will begin in March 2027.

Community Renewable Energy Agency
●​ Businesses in Springdale can get on our website (utahrenewablecommunities.org/business
sessions) to attend a workshop which will help to answer questions they might have about the
costs of participating in the Community Clean Energy Program. We encourage all businesses to
stay opted into the program.
●​ Next month customers of RMP (Rocky Mountain Power) will start to receive formal opt-out
notices on their regular bills. As we have said before, all customers are automatically opted into
the program. If you don’t want to be part of the program, you must tell RMP that you want to
opt-out.
●​ The program will officially start on 1-1-27.
●​ The PSC officially approved sch 10 (the Community Clean Energy Program) on 9/1/26.

September, 2026 Staff Report for the Town Council Meeting

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
September's focus was in large part still on flood cleanup and repairing damage done to
infrastructure by the storms. Both Utilities and Streets assisted with that effort. Roads are
mostly back to normal now.
The Utility Department was able to complete the repair and replacement of the sewer pond
effluent discharge line that was rendered inoperable due the storm's impact on the river channel
in September. All systems are once again fully operational. Crews are working in preparation
for the installation of the replacement generator at the tank site. Earlier this week all system
water tanks were cleaned and inspected and all passed and are in good working order. We
have a water leak in the highway near the bit and spur, that we were able to shut off without
impacting service, and that will be repaired in the coming weeks. Automated traffic lights will be
utilized to manage traffic during the repair. Notice will be sent out prior to the event as usual.
In addition to the flood cleanup efforts, the Streets Department and Parks Department assisted
the Utility department in beginning to remove flood deposited debris from the Utility departments
diversion structure inside ZNP. This is quite a large undertaking as it all needs to be removed
with shovels rather than equipment due to its location. The Streets Department has also begun
making preparations for the crack seal and seal coat applications that will start soon in the
Moenave Subdivision also preparing for the painting and signage on Big Springs Road.

Ongoing Project Updates
●​ LDS Church to Quail sidewalk project
○​ This project has been approved by UDOT and will be going out to bid in October.

Homelessness Mitigation Task Force
This task force continues to meet every two weeks to discuss funding allocation for shelters
throughout the state. Meanwhile, West Valley City has added a homeless shelter that further
dilutes the available funding. I know this seems like a “northern Utah” or “city” problem, but we
all pay into the fund and want to make sure it is used in an effective way.

Day of Service - September 11
Our Day of Service project was a clean up at the Jolley-Gifford Cemetery. We had a small
turnout, mostly Town staff, but we were pleased that a representative from Congresswoman
Maloy’s office came and helped us out. Kudos to James Leavitt for his work on our behalf.

Healthy Utah Annual Conference
I attended this conference as a keynote panelist with the Mayors of Bountiful, Vineyard, and
Cottonwood Heights. I’m proud of what we are doing as a small town, and many of our
initiatives mirror those being done in the large cities.
Several booths at the conference were geared toward an aging population, and I made some
connections that could be a resource to Springdale and the health coalition.

Town Engineer Selection Committee
Randy and I served on the selection committee to consider hiring a new Town Engineer. It was
an interesting process, and the finalist will be presented to the Council at the October meeting.

Mayors Association of Washington County
Our October meeting was hosted by the town of Leeds. They have just become the second “fire
wise” community in Washington County, inspired by the threat of homeowners losing their fire
insurance. The program is Fire Wise USA; this allows some access to grants for mitigation of
fire hazards. Mayor Peterson recommends that other municipalities get involved with this group.
We had a presentation from Susannah O’Brien of the Virgin River Land Trust, who also
presented at the Canyon Community Center later in the week. She gave an overview of the
Land Trust. Almost 4,000 acres in Washington County have been permanently preserved
through conservation easements. It has been almost exclusively through private landowners,

but they recently worked with Washington County. The key phrase is “is it worth preserving?”
They are now starting to work with municipalities and want us as a council to consider what
lands we would like to preserve from development and work with them to make it happen.
Priority is given to areas along the Virgin River and its tributaries.
Jordan Hess did a training on TRT taxes and applications for those funds. Applications are due
February 1 and August 1. The County likes projects that are “shovel ready.” There must be a
50/50 match (cash only, not in-kind). “Placer AI” tracks people through their cell phones and
helps justify the visitation information. The County doesn’t fund swimming pools or recreation
centers. Parks and trails are, however, a great fit for funding. It’s helpful to talk about solving a
safety concern in your application. Southern Utah Economic Alliance has the Placer AI software
and can provide us the information on visitation. There is a difference between destination
development that brings people in and places that people visit because they’re already there.

River Park Expansion Project
Around the project continues to move forward. Pathways are constructed, plantings are almost
complete, and preparations for sod are underway. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is currently planned for
October 16.
Community Wellness Survey
I attended the presentation of the results for the Community Wellness survey. Although response
numbers were lower this year, the results were still useful to identify shifting trends as well as ongoing
patterns.
The Mesa Project
Thank you to the team at the Mesa Project for invitation to a special dinner event. The evening included
an introduction of The Mesa board members, a presentation on the completion of Phase I, and live
music. It was great to learn about everything that has been accomplished to date and to see the strong
outside support for this amazing project.

TC Report October 14, 2026
Utah League of Cities & Towns Legislative Policy Committee
During the Sep-21 meeting of LPC these were some of the issues discussed, as they relate to Springdale:
●​ Land use, annexation, and local control:
○​ ULCT is developing positions opposing state actions that would reduce locally elected
officials’ discretion over municipal boundaries, annexation, planning, service delivery,
or development decisions.
●​ Impact fees and growth: ULCT is preparing a resolution supporting impact fees that are
proportionate to development impacts and used for eligible system improvements. This
supports Springdale’s interest in ensuring that new development contributes appropriately to
the added demands it creates on transportation, water, sewer, public safety, and other capital
facilities, rather than shifting those costs to existing residents and ratepayers.
●​ Housing policy: State discussions continue on lot sizes, pre-approved plans, ADUs/DADUs,
permitting timelines, plan review, homeowner associations, and incentives for
owner-occupied housing.
●​ Water and stormwater: Water legislation remains active, including possible renewed
discussion of retention basins and other stormwater-management practices. Although the
prior retention-basin bill did not pass, ULCT expects additional water bills and advisory-group
activity.
●​ Public records, privacy, and technology: Municipalities face expanding obligations related to
GRAMA, OPMA, data privacy, vendor compliance, AI-assisted records requests, and
automated license-plate-reader systems.
●​ ULCT expects to consider its draft impact-fee and annexation resolutions in October or
November.

Zion Bike Ambassadors
A meeting is scheduled for Nov-13 for Park Officials and Bike Ambassadors to discuss methods,
expectations, and to gather input on signage and messaging throughout the park in order to establish
consistency in park goals and messaging regarding bike activity and incidents in the park.
********************************
Emergency Management
A tabletop, disaster response exercise is scheduled for Thursday, Oct-15, for Town staff and
Administration. This will be a guided discussion of a simulated emergency to practice coordination,
clarify roles, and identify gaps in the response plan before a real disaster occurs.

SOUTHWEST MOSQUITO ABATEMENT & CONTROL DISTRICT
SEPTEMBER 2026
BOARD MEMBER NEWSLETTER
As summer begins to wind down, mosquito season is still keeping our staff busy. Recent mosquito
activity has resulted in a significant increase in service requests and West Nile virus detections this
year. Our crews continue to monitor mosquito populations, respond to residents, treat breeding sources,
and work throughout Washington County to reduce mosquito activity. Here are a few updates from
around the District this month.

MOSQUITO SURVEILLANCE REPORT
Here are the trap numbers through September 11, 2026:
Collections (adults):
-Total mosquitoes collected year-to-date- 21515 mosquitoes
-Comparison to last year- 24352mosquitoes
Testing:
-Total vials tested year-to-date- 506
-Comparison from last year- 358
-Positive WNV/SLE pools to date- 49 (first WNV+ was 7/14/26)
- Comparison to last year- 0 (first WNV+ was 9/16/25)
Service Calls:
-Total service calls to date: 410
-Comparison to last year: 123
While the total number of mosquitoes collected remains below last year's numbers, we have seen a
significant increase in West Nile virus activity and service requests. Staff continue to closely monitor
virus activity and respond to areas experiencing increased mosquito populations.

WELCOME TO THE TEAM
We are excited to welcome Camden Graham, Brandon Denter, Tanner Gentry, and Kyson Maynes to
Southwest Mosquito Abatement & Control District!
Although we are nearing the end of mosquito season, we recently had several employees leave to return
to school or pursue other job opportunities. With mosquito activity and service requests remaining
high, we needed to bring on additional staff to help us finish out the season.
Camden, Brandon, Tanner, and Kyson will help support our surveillance, treatment, and response
efforts through the remainder of the season. We are happy to have them on board and appreciate their
willingness to jump in and help during such a busy time!

CONFERENCE & MEETING UPDATES
Sean recently met with the Iron County Commissioners to discuss the possibility of establishing a
mosquito abatement district in Iron County.
Iron County has received a large number of mosquito-related requests this year, bringing additional
attention to the need for organized mosquito surveillance and control services in the area. Sean was
able to share information about mosquito abatement operations and how a mosquito district can help
provide consistent surveillance, treatment, and public health protection.
We appreciate the opportunity to share our experience and knowledge with our neighbors in Iron
County and will be interested to see where those discussions lead.
The Utah Mosquito Abatement Association Annual Conference will be held October 26–28, 2026, in
Ogden, Utah.
If any Board members would like to attend, please let me know as soon as possible so we can make
the necessary hotel reservations and arrangements.
The administrative staff will also be attending the Utah Association of Special Districts Annual
Conference, which will be held November 4–6, 2026, in Layton, Utah.
These conferences are a great opportunity for continuing education, networking, and learning about
issues and developments affecting mosquito abatement and special districts throughout Utah.

COMMUNICATIONS CORNER
It has certainly been a busy mosquito season! We appreciate the continued support of our Board as
our staff works through increased service requests and the higher level of West Nile virus activity we
have experienced this year.
As temperatures begin to cool, mosquito activity will eventually start to slow, but our surveillance and
control efforts will continue as long as mosquitoes remain active. We will continue monitoring traps,
testing mosquito pools, responding to residents, and treating problem areas throughout the
remainder of the season.
Thank you for your continued support of the District and our staff. We appreciate all you do to help
us serve and protect the communities of Washington County.
Just a reminder, our next Board meeting is November 12, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. at our District office. You
will be able to join us in person or online through Google Meet. We should have a lot to catch up on
then along with reviewing our preliminary budget. As always, thank you for your service to the
Board.

TC Report October 14, 2026
URC and Clean Communities- Residents should expect to receive the first notice in the mail at the
beginning of Nov. This notice will explain the opt-out timeline and program start date. Expect the first
schedule 100 charge to show up on the January bill. Opting out is free until May 1, 2027. Assistance is
available for low and fixed income participants through the HEAT and HELP programs. There are a few
webinars through the month of October for several different stakeholders. I have been working on
connecting the right people with the session they may be interested in including connecting with the
organizations that are listed on our low income plan. I attended the communications workshop regarding
premade outreach and guidance on how to create our own if needed. In September the board voted to
approve moving ahead with two projects so that the PPA negotiations could take place and more in
depth transmission studies could be preformed. I am scheduled on the agenda for Visitors Bureau
agenda for November to present highlights for commercial accounts.
Community Development- The team has been conducting parking counts during busy times to better
understand the current state of parking. The jail continues to undergo evaluation for safety. It is looking
good so far. The department is starting work on the general plan. You may have noticed that work on the
Palmer’s plaza property has began with the removal of the the Amigos building.
Housing- The Trapper Circle project has run into an issue with setbacks. This will be coming to Council for
discussion.
Messaging- We met twice in recent weeks. We worked on building a mission statement as well as
discussing goals and objectives that need to be formulated. Our second meeting was with Professor Blye
from the University of Utah to discuss our completed work and the direction we should take moving
forward. She gave us good insight into the pros and cons of a Stewardship Plan. She also gave us next
steps for forming a framework that will include goals, objectives, and measurable outcome.
I attended the Wellbeing Survey presentation by Dr. Flint. The data that is captured in this survey is
informative for the CHC as the group considers health goals, programs, and wellbeing in the community.

Town Engineer Selection: Jones and DeMille Engineering
Executive Summary
In August the Town issued a Request for Proposals to select a new Town Engineer. Based on review of the
proposals received the Selection Committee recommends the Mayor and Council appoint Jones and
DeMille Engineering as the Town Engineer.
Background and Recommendation
Chapter 1, Article 6B establishes the Town Engineer position. This Article defines the role and
responsibilities of the Town Engineer. It also stipulates that the Mayor, with the advice and consent of
the Town Council, appoints the Town Engineer.
Since 2006 the Town has contracted with Sunrise Engineering to fill the Town Engineer role. In the past
22 years the contract with Sunrise has not been updated. In order to allow the contract with the
Engineer to be updated and to ensure the Town has the best possible fit in the Town Engineer position,
the Town decided to issue an RFP for a new Town Engineer selection.
The Town issued the RFP in August. Proposals were due in early September. Although the Town made a
comprehensive effort to publicize the RFP as widely as possible, only two firms submitted proposals:
Jones and DeMille Engineering (JDE) and Rosenberg Associates. The Town Engineer Selection
Committee1 reviewed the submitted proposals, consulted references, and conducted in-person
interviews with both firms.
Based on the selection and review process described above, the Selection Committee recommends the
Mayor, with the advice and consent of the Town Council, appoint JDE as the Town Engineer.
If the Council formally appoints JDE as the Town Engineer, staff and JDE will negotiate a contract for the
Council’s review and approval in the November meeting. Staff and JDE have already begun developing a
contract. Once we have agreed upon the terms we will forward the contract to the Town Attorney for
legal review, and then place the contract on the next Town Council agenda.

The Selection Committee Members are: Mayor Barbara Bruno, Council Member Randy Aton, Public Works Director Joe Barker,
Treasurer Dawn Brecke, Director of Community Development Niall Connolly, Town Manager Thomas Dansie, Parks and
Recreation Director Ryan Gubler

About Jones and DeMille
The following excerpt from JDE’s proposal summarizes their qualifications:
JDE has provided civil engineering, surveying, planning, GIS, construction management, and
municipal-funding services throughout rural Utah since 1982 (44 years) with twelve office
locations throughout Utah, Colorado and Idaho. JDE offers in-house planning, project
management, feasibility studies, public relations, GIS, survey, design, environmental permitting,
plan and specification preparation and compliance review, bidding administration, construction
engineering and management, and construction observation and documentation, plus four
award-winning materials testing labs across the state.
JDE holds a five-year architectural and engineering IDIQ contract with the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) and is beginning another three-year NRCS contract; JDE is also a
subconsultant on the current Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) IDIQ. This funding-agency
relationship, together with JDE’s standing relationships with the Utah Division of Drinking Water,
the Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB), DEQ, and Division of Emergency Management, is
directly relevant to RFP §2.0’s funding-and-regulatory-relationship qualifications and §4.0
factors.
JDE has assisted the Town of Springdale in the past. In 2015 JDE produced the Town’s Street and
Transportation Master Plan. As part of this project JDE assisted the Town in obtaining a grant from the
CIB which covered a large portion of the project costs. The Town had a positive experience working with
JDE on this project.
Members of the Selection Committee contacted JDE’s references and received high praise from JDE’s
other municipal clients (which include Hildale, Colorado City, and Richfield).
JDE’s proposal to the RFP is attached. That document provides additional information regarding the firm
and their ability to serve Springdale. Additional information is available on the Jones and DeMille
website.
Council Action
Staff recommends the Mayor, with the advice and consent of the Town Council, formally appoint Jones
and DeMille Engineering as the Town Engineer. Staff further recommends the Council direct staff to
negotiate the terms of a contract with JDE and bring a contract document to the Council for review in
the November meeting.

September 11, 2026

Dear Thomas and Selection Committee,
Jones & DeMille Engineering (JDE) is pleased to submit this Statement of
Qualifications and Proposal to serve as the Town of Springdale’s Town Engineer.
Springdale’s position as the doorway to Zion National Park is truly unique in
that only 600 residents provide the infrastructure and services for as many
as five million annual visitors. JDE recognizes these complex challenges and
is structured to deliver a single, senior, authoritative point of contact for all
the unique municipal engineering needs of Springdale; predictable, up-front
pricing; and regular, proactive communication.
JDE proposes Riley Vane, PE, based in our Washington County (St. George)
office, as the Town’s single senior point of contact, backed by a full in-house
bench in water, wastewater, stormwater, transportation, GIS, water rights,
construction management, and municipal funding, so Springdale gets one
authoritative voice and the depth of a full-service regional firm behind it.

WHY JDE
JDE’s connection to Springdale is not new. In 2015, JDE prepared the Town’s
Street & Transportation Master Plan, developing Zion National Park visitation
and traffic-demand forecasts (including Anderson Junction growth impacts)
that the Town used to plan future road capacity, safety, and funding priorities.
JDE, through its Campbell Architecture team, also designed the Springdale
Town Plaza restroom and site improvements, a public facility built in the Town’s own plaza, engineered around the area’s
highly collapsible native soils and full ADA/2021 IBC compliance.
Beyond the Town itself, JDE’s project experience in the immediate Zion corridor runs deep. JDE is currently under contract
with Washington County on an environmental assessment along the Zion corridor. JDE has served for over a decade as
District Engineer for the East Zion Special Service District, providing culinary water, wastewater, SCADA, and GIS infrastructure
work immediately outside Zion’s east entrance. JDE is also currently coordinating a non-motorized trail system east of Zion
National Park for Kane County, working directly with the National Park Service, BLM, Zion Forever, and the Utah Division of
Wildlife Resources. This is the same kind of hands-on familiarity with Zion-adjacent land use, visitor-driven infrastructure
demand, and multi-agency coordination the Town is asking for, not a firm learning the area for the first time.
Our team is available immediately and eager to help shape the quality of life for Springdale’s residents. I will serve as
JDE’s authorized representative for this proposal and hold authority to contractually bind the firm. I can be reached at
435.979.7650 or [email protected]; Riley, our Project Manager and the Town’s Point of Contact, can be reached
at 435.705.1189 or [email protected].
We look forward to hearing from the Town and welcome the opportunity to discuss our approach in greater detail.
Sincerely,
JONES & DeMILLE ENGINEERING, INC.

wastewater, stormwater, transportation, water rights,
GIS, structural, environmental, and funding specialists are
available from nearby JDE offices as needed, so the Town
receives the responsiveness of a fully qualified Washington
County team with the added depth of a full-service regional firm.

CERTIFIED WATER/WASTEWATER OPERATOR
JDE will immediately begin assisting the Town in procuring an
independent, certified water and wastewater operator. JDE partners with
certified operators throughout the region on a regular basis and brings multijurisdictional experience matching the right operator to a client’s specific system, staffing, and certification needs. We will
apply that same approach to meet Town of Springdale’s exact requirements.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE OF THE FIRM
JDE holds active and recently completed on-call and general-engineering agreements with small rural municipalities and
counties across Utah and the Intermountain Region, under several of which JDE serves as engineer of record or de facto
city/county engineer.

LEEDS DOMESTIC WATER USERS ASSOCIATION (LDWA) | WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH
LDWA is a shareholder-owned water company in Washington County that JDE has served continuously since 2022,
currently under a 2024–2026 General Engineering Services agreement — an ongoing, multi-year relationship rather than a
single project, structured the same way Springdale’s Town Engineer role is.
Don Fawson, President | LDWA | 435.669.1111

Project(s) and Detail

Culinary Water

2022 Culinary Water Improvements: a new well, rehabilitation of an existing well, and replacement
of over 30,000 feet of transmission and distribution piping. A fire-flow analysis found the existing
mains severely undersized and requiring upsizing.

Funding &
Financing

JDE secured $7.8 million in funding from the Utah Division of Drinking Water (including federal
dollars) for the well and pipeline work — federal funding that required environmental, cultural, and
geologic studies, which JDE coordinated through specialized subconsultants.

Regulatory
Compliance

BLM permitting for the new well site (located on BLM property) and for five miles of transmission
pipeline on National Forest land; a hydrogeologic study and preliminary well-site evaluation
performed by subconsultant Cascade Water Resources.

TOWN OF SPRINGDALE | TOWN ENGINEER

PROPOSED PROJECT PLAN
1. A SINGLE, SENIOR PRIMARY POINT OF CONTACT
Riley Vane, PE will be Springdale’s single point of contact for all Town Engineer communication, backed by the full
technical bench listed in the Statement of Qualifications above. Other staff will engage on specific tasks by discipline, but
all communication is routed through Riley so the Town always has one accountable, informed voice.
2. PREDICTABLE, CONSISTENT PRICING FOR GENERAL ENGINEERING SUPPORT
The RFP invites an alternative to pure hourly billing for general engineering support (plan review, routine Public Works
assistance) while allowing project-specific capital work to remain budget- or task-order-based. JDE already uses a payment
structure built for exactly this in its standing municipal engineer-of-record roles: a master agreement with individually
priced task orders. JDE proposes applying that same structure here:


A master General Services Agreement (GSA) with the Town for a three-year term with up to three annual renewals (six
years total) — the same term structure as JDE’s Colorado City engineer-of-record GSA — establishing Riley Vane as the
Town’s single, consistent point of contact under standard terms for the life of the relationship.



Smaller, well-defined assignments — such as subdivision and commercial plan reviews — priced on approved hourly
rates plus reimbursable expenses, so the Town or applicant pays only for the actual time a review takes rather than a
padded flat estimate.



Larger capital projects and grant- or state-funded work priced as a lump sum or not-to-exceed fixed fee, so the risk of
a cost overrun sits with JDE rather than the Town’s budget or its funding-agency reporting.



Open-ended time-and-materials billing reserved for the exception, not the default — used only where the Town directs
it for genuinely undefined-scope work (e.g., emergency response or short-notice field support), keeping that risk under
the Town’s control.

3. REGULAR, CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION
JDE proposes a recurring check-in cadence with Public Works and Community Development staff at an interval decided
by Springdale Town, a shared project/plan-review tracking log the Town can view directly, and Riley Vane’s direct line as
primary contact for anything that cannot wait for the regular check-in.
DELIVERING THE SECTION 1.0 SERVICES
JDE’s approach to each Section 1.0 responsibility, and the team member accountable for it:
Responsibility

JDE Lead

Public infrastructure assistance (water,
wastewater, storm water, streets)

Parker Vercimak (water), Carson DeMille (wastewater), Ricky Anderson
(stormwater), Micklane Farmer/Bret Sorenson (streets/SR-9 coordination
with UDOT)

Development review

Kendall Welch, with Ben Giblette for construction-phase items

Funding and financing assistance

Brian Barton, drawing on JDE’s NRCS/BOR IDIQ relationships and CIB/
DDW/DEQ contacts

Impacted rural towns like Springdale are exactly the
communities we serve.

Our job: community improvement that protects Springdale’s unique character and village
atmosphere, not cookie-cutter solutions from somewhere else.

in funding procured for our clients

Small towns shouldn't carry big projects alone. We find the right
mix of grants and low-interest loans, prepare the applications, and
handle the agency paperwork after the award.

$7.8M State drinking water funding for Leeds' new well and pipeline
$5.19M CIB grant and loan package for Monroe City's streets
$3.1M CIB grant for Hildale's Maxwell Park

Your master plans assume loans. We'll look for grant dollars first.

Q&A

WATER TREATMENT
TOWN'S QUESTION

“Detail JDE’s experience with culinary water treatment for small water service providers similar to Springdale. We note the proposal
cites experience primarily with well development. Does JDE have surface water treatment experience?”

OUR ANSWER

• Yes. We’re designing a new treatment plant for Fruitland SSD, whose spring the state classified as under the influence of
surface water, so it’s held to surface-water treatment rules.
• We also built filtration and chlorination for Pinon Forest SSD and designed river diversions for Monticello.
• We work with several treatment specialists, not one vendor; several also operate plants.
• Next for Springdale: confirm the pond line is the right fix, and use your metered data to seek a system-specific DDW sizing
standard.

LAGOON SYSTEMS
TOWN'S QUESTION

“Provide additional detail on JDE’s experience with sewer lagoon systems in Beaver, Tropic, and Richfield. What is JDE’s role in
designing, constructing, and managing the ongoing operation of these systems? Does JDE have experience with sewer lagoon + filter
systems?”
OUR ANSWER

• Recent and ongoing projects
– Beaver: leading the $7.5M rebuild of 48 acres of lagoons.
– Tropic: study, then rebuilt and new cells.
– Richfield: facilities plan, then 150 acres of rebuilt cells.
– Ruby’s Inn and Ephraim: lagoons with disinfection and permitted land application or discharge.
• Our role: planning, funding, design and construction management. Your independent operator runs the plant.
• Lagoon + filter, in that order — next for Springdale
– Diagnose: sample the collection system for I&I and dilution (Rockville, Springdale, Zion); BOD, TSS and ammonia per cell
over a full day, not one grab sample.
– Control algae with low-cost steps first, working with Triplepoint, our lagoon optimization specialist.
– Then size filtration — sand, cloth or other — on footprint, up-front cost and operating cost.

WATER RIGHTS CONTINUITY
TOWN'S QUESTION

“Bob Leake is an expert in water rights with 41 years of experience. How much longer will he likely stay with the firm? Does JDE have
other water rights experience if / when Mr. Leake leaves the firm?”
OUR ANSWER

Water rights: a team, not one person
• Bob is here for the long run. He retired from the State and works with JDE on demand, an arrangement he
plans to continue with no end date. He's also training the next generation.
• A bench of 7+ engineers across our offices is doing water rights work right now: proofs, change applications, 40year plans, and water rights inventories for cities and irrigation companies.
• For Springdale: SCIC share purchases, the Cemetery Well change application, and the Park Service springs
agreement.

GIS FOR SPRINGDALE
TOWN'S QUESTION

“Please clarify JDE's GIS experience and proposal for the Town's GIS needs, specific to the services identified in the RFP.”
OUR ANSWER

How we'll build and keep your GIS
1. Build the inventory: water, sewer, irrigation, storm drains, streets and trails, organized in one map.
2. Transfer data as needed: bring in existing Town records, prior mapping and developer as-builts.
3. Host the maps: a working map for staff, and a public map showing zoning, hazard areas, parcels and streets.
Sensitive utility data stays internal.
4. Fill the gaps: our crews collect what's missing in the field, with survey accuracy where it matters.
5. Train your staff: in the field and in the office, with shared data standards so everyone collects the same way.
6. You own the data: everything we build belongs to the Town.

BILLING MODELS
TOWN'S QUESTION

“The Town is interested in creative cost and billing models as an alternative to standard hourly billing practices for on-call engineering.
Is JDE open to alternative cost and billing structures in lieu of hourly billing (e.g. retainers, other formats)?”
OUR ANSWER

Yes.
• Development review: hourly, reimbursed by the applicant. We're open to negotiating fixed fees for subdivision
reviews.
• Everyday Public Works support: options we'll build with you, such as a retainer that carries over month to
month and is replenished as needed, or a scope and estimate for each task.
• Capital projects: a defined scope with a lump sum or not-to-exceed fee.
• Every dollar tied to a scope. Every invoice itemized. Every request on the shared log, reviewed at our check-ins.
• We look forward to Immersion Month – on our dime!
