KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />STUDY SESSION DATE: February 11, 2019 <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Approve a Notice of Call for Sealed Bids <br />for the Procurement of a new Bridge for Big Boulder <br />Creek <br />BACKGROUND: Fish Lake Road is currently maintained on contract by <br />the United States Forest Service. During routine <br />bridge inspection this past year significant damage <br />was found at the near shore abutment. Public Works <br />immediately launched into a design effort targeting <br />bridge replacement in 2019. <br />Environmental permitting timelines and the recent <br />shut down of key government resource agencies <br />imperils project delivery in 2019. Procuring the <br />bridge ahead of awarding project construction is <br />essential to maintaining delivery viability in 2019. <br />Public Works is requesting to solicit for bridge <br />suppliers attempting to obtain delivery by early <br />summer 2019. Providing environmental permitting <br />does not experience any further delays, procuring the <br />bridge now appears to offer the best chance of 2019 <br />project delivery. <br />Public Works will be replacing the damaged bridge <br />with Title 1 Funding and the sixteen (16) foot bridge <br />width is consistent with current road standards. <br />Public Works anticipates spending approximately <br />$140,000 in bridge procurement. <br />INTERACTION: Public Works <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Notice of Call for Sealed Bids for the <br />Procurement of a new Bridge for Big Boulder Creek <br />HANDLING: Return one (1) Notice of Call for Sealed Bids to <br />Public Works <br />ATTACHMENTS: Notice of Call for Sealed Bids, 60% Plans, Bid <br />Proposal <br />LEAD STAFF: Mark Cook, Director <br />
