"Construction bids are coming in very competitively right now," said Jack Zirbes, Provo City Engineer. "On the last job we let for bid, eight of the nine bids that came in were under our estimate some by tens of thousands of dollars. The new building will never cost the citizens less than it will right now: materials are down, contractors are hungry, and interest rates are dropping. The voters will be passing up a real opportunity to save money on a badly needed facility if they vote against the bond issue."

"I look for a 30 percent increase, at least, in labor and materials. My information comes from working professionals contractors and suppliers as well as from our national organization which is well-informed about such matters." Mr. Wagner said that the need for the building is obvious, that he strongly favors it, and that "we should do the prudent thing ... we should act to meet this need before the next round of inflationary in-flationary increases." Glen T. Nelson, a retired BYU Professor of Economics, said that lumber prices are at 1976 levels some mills have shut down and that the economy isn't likely to register any major improvement in the months ahead. A source close to IDS Church building programs gave this assessment: "It's the best climate for bid-letting that we've had for several years.

Due to legislative budget cuts, the total budget represents a $10,000 decrease in funding from Fiscal Year 1979-80 levels. The cuts resulted in decreases in the amounts awarded to arts organizations. Walter G. Smith, chairman of the Utah Arts Council commented, "It is difficult to accept any cut when inflation has increased all our costs, but there is no way the Council could translate less money into larger grants."

He added that even though contractors are hungry, the inflationary spiral in construction will continue for at least another year "all the more reason to undertake needed projects now." Sam Brewster, chairman of the citizens advisory commission that studied Utah County building needs, said that inflation adds about $67,000 each month to the cost of the building. "This is the reason for holding the special bond election on June 3 rather than waiting until the primary election on September 9 to avoid an estimated inflationary increase of over $200,000 between June and September." Mr. Brewster said that a 1.1 mill levy would amortize the project over 20 years at a cost of about $8.30 a year to the average homeowner. Show |
