Public works previews annual asphalt supply contract; material prices expected to rise slightly
Summary
County public works presented the yearly asphalt supplier contract at a work session April 7, 2025. Staff said material prices may increase only slightly and noted this supply contract covers material pickup costs separate from installation bids.
Clallam County public-works staff presented the county’s annual asphalt supply contract to commissioners on April 7, 2025, describing the agreement as a routine renewal of a supplier contract used for chip seals, pothole patching and related road maintenance.
Staff said estimated material costs for asphalt had increased slightly but not dramatically. The agenda item covers the supply contract only (material pickup), not installation, and staff said this will allow the county to compare plant pickup prices separately from installation bids, which are more affected by prevailing wages and labor costs.
Commissioners asked whether low oil prices nationally were producing relief; staff said they would monitor bids but that bid results and contract awards would appear as part of the county procurement process. No final contract signature or formal board action was recorded during the work session.
