Council awards 2025 spring pothole contract to Pacific Northwest Civil for $228,883 (including 15% contingency)
Summary
The City Council approved a contract to repair 25 pothole areas totaling over 17,000 square feet, awarding the bid to Pacific Northwest Civil for $199,029 plus a 15% contingency for $228,883.35.
The City Council authorized award of the 2025 spring pothole repair project to Pacific Northwest Civil after staff reviewed bids and requested a 15% contingency to cover potential scope or material changes. The project covers 25 potholes totaling more than 17,000 square feet of roadway repairs.
Staff said the apparent low responsive bid was $199,029 and recommended adding a 15% contingency, bringing the total award to a not-to-exceed $228,883.35. Council members moved, seconded and voted unanimously to approve the award; no council member opposed.
Staff told the council Pacific Northwest Civil is not a firm the city has used previously; staff checked references and found the bidder qualified. The work is standard pothole repair and street-surface remediation; staff will return with scheduling and contract execution details. The project will be paid from the city’s transportation/streets budget.
Ending: The council’s vote authorizes staff to finalize the contract and proceed with the repairs under the approved amount and contingency.
