Council awards $449,277 riverbank armoring contract for Riverside Memorial project
Summary
The City Council awarded a $449,277.95 contract to Wylie Construction Inc. for armoring the Riverside Memorial riverbank; the project is 50/50 grant-funded and city funds will reimburse on grant reimbursement terms.
The Green River City Council voted to award a bid to Wylie Construction Inc. to install riverbank armoring at the Riverside Memorial site for $449,277.95.
Public works staff said the project addresses significant bank erosion along the Green River at the Riverside Memorial site and described the award as the contract amount. Staff confirmed the project is covered by a 50/50 grant: half of the contract will be reimbursed by the grant program and the city will provide the matching half, with implementation paid up front by the city and reimbursed by the grant agency.
Council discussion included fiscal priorities and public comments about the appearance and use of the riverbank after armoring; one councilmember said residents sometimes view riverbank projects as "rocks in the river" while acknowledging the need to stop erosion. The motion to award the contract carried; the meeting record does not show additional contract modifications or schedule details beyond the award and grant reimbursement arrangement.
