THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Vernal City is moving the downtown community block project into Phase 1 design and construction bidding, funded in the FY2027 budget. Staff recommends selecting MHTN as the design firm based on prior downtown work, using the state DFCM fee schedule rather than a full proposal process. The design fee is $361,565, about 7.23% of project cost, signaling a multi-million-dollar downtown capital project that will generate future construction and specialty service procurements.
Concept design approved earlier in 2026; several firms previously worked on related downtown scopes. MHTN’s scope of work is 20 pages and defines included and excluded services.
