Renovation of a power facility in La Verkin, Utah. Working plans call for the renovation of a power facility.

As of January 10, 2024 project is on hold, no definite date for the rebid. Washington County is seeking proposals for a roof replacement and structural preservation on the Hydroelectric Power Plant located in Confluence Park. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Constructed in 1929, the La Verkin Hydroelectric Plant is located on the north bank of the Virgin iver in Confluence Park, about 20 miles northeast from St. George, Washington County. The power plant is a two story square brick masonry building facing west and resting on a poured formed concrete foundation. Since its construction, the plant has had minimal alteration and retains the majority of its historic integrity, view shed, setting and associated feeling. Below the Floor framing the walls are Three Wythe Un-Reinforced Masonry Walls. Above the Floor framing the walls are Two Wythe Un-Reinforced Masonry Walls. At the level of the window lintels on each floor is a soldier bond brick water table that is flush with the wall and extends across all elevations. The building has a medium pitched gable roof with the ridgeline extending east to west clad with terra cotta tiles-although many of the tiles are broken or missing. It overhangs the building about one foot on the north and south elevations and features exposed rafters. To preserve the building from further deterioration, the County wishes to replace the roof in order to shield it from the elements. This should also protect future restoration efforts. Structural and Seismic Studies have been conducted. Please review the attached structural preservation documents and use them to come up with your proposal.
