KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />SUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />STUDY SESSION DATE: July 24, 2017 <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the Resolution to Award the <br />Huntzinger Road Safety Improvements Project. <br />BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Works solicited bids <br />for the Huntzinger Road Traffic Safety contract <br />in accordance with RCW 36.77.020 Contract <br />Procedures. Sealed Bids were opened on July <br />14, 2017 at 10am. <br />Two (2) bids were received for the prescribed <br />work. The lowest responsive bid was Petersen <br />Brothers, Inc., in the amount of $407,526.59 <br />approximately 5% under the Engineer's <br />Estimate of $431,316.90. <br />This contract provides for safety improvements <br />of Huntzinger Road, by installing guardrail as <br />needed from I-90 to the State Park. <br />The total HSIP funds allocated for construction <br />improvements on Westside Road and <br />Huntzinger Road was $511,402.00. The <br />Westside Road Safety project was completed <br />with approximately $136,760.00 of HSIP funds <br />still available for reimbursement. The <br />remaining $271,066.59 required to complete the <br />Huntzinger Road improvements will be <br />funded by the road fund. <br />Future investments from Grant County PUD <br />along the Huntzinger corridor has motivated <br />Public Works to be proactive and improve <br />safety by protecting existing roadside hazards <br />with guardrail. <br />
