AGENDA STAFF REPORT

Request to Approve a Resolution to Award the
Contract for the Fairview Road Widening and
Coleman Creek Structures Project and authorize the
Public Works Director to execute the same.
BACKGROUND: In 2017, two short span bridges failed along a short
section of Fairview Road. Replacement designs
were substantially completed in 2018 and in 2019
negotiations with the property owner failed to
resolve the necessary settlement of right of way to
allow the project to proceed to construction.
INTERACTION:
On April 21, 2020 (Resolution 2020-086) the Board
agreed that the current economic climate dictates
settlement of right of way allowing this
improvement project to proceed to construction this
season.
On May 11, 2020 the Board of Kittitas County
Commissioners approved a Notice of Call for
Sealed Bids for the Fairview Road Widening and
Coleman Creek Structures Replacement.
On June 1, 2020 bids were opened at Kittitas
County Public Works. There were four bids, and the
lowest qualified bid belonged to Advantage Dirt
Contractors Inc. for $819,864.10. The Engineer's
estimate for the project is $961,065.00. Right of
way is now in possession of the County clearing the
way for bridge construction.
Public Works
RECOMMENDATION: Approve a Resolution to Award the Contract for the
Fairview Road Widening and Coleman Creek
Structures Project to Advantage Dirt in the amount
of $819,864.10 and authorize the Public Works
Director to execute the same.
