Council awards Crescent Avenue bridge replacement contract; DOT funding covers 95%
Summary
The Common Council authorized a contract with PB Excavation LLC to replace the Crescent Avenue bridge over North Chuckanut Creek in a project that is roughly 95% federally funded and uses CHIPS funds for the local 5% match.
The Common Council approved awarding the Crescent Avenue bridge replacement contract to PB Excavation LLC for $1,987,058.90.
Council discussion noted the project is approximately 95% federally funded through the Department of Transportation, and the city’s local match — about 5% — was recommended to come from the CHIPS allotment so the cost does not hit the city’s operating budget. Council members asked about the lane configuration; staff confirmed the new structure will be two lanes with a sidewalk.
DOT reviewed and approved the plans through its process and has already completed preliminary reviews, city staff said; construction is expected to start after contractor and DOT scheduling, with an estimated on‑the‑ground start later in the summer depending on permitting and coordination.
The resolution authorizes the mayor to execute the contract with PB Excavation LLC for the stated amount; the roll call vote approved the award.
