Council awards roundabout and paving contracts; Township Street and SR‑9 projects under way
Summary
Council awarded construction contracts: 2025 pavement/pedestrian improvements to Excavation West ($1,067,101.82) and the SR‑9/John Liner roundabout to SRV Construction, Inc. ($2,329,741.50). Staff said bids were favorable and that coordination with utilities and compaction testing will ensure long‑term pavement performance.
The council authorized two public works contract awards: the 2025 pavement and pedestrian improvement project and the SR‑9/John Liner roundabout construction.
Why it matters: The projects address maintenance and intersection capacity/safety in corridors with significant travel demand. The roundabout is a multi‑million dollar safety and operations project; the paving program covers multiple street segments including Township Street where utility replacements recently finished.
Details of awards: Bill Bullock (public works) reported Excavation West was the low bidder for the 2025 pavement/pedestrian project at $1,067,101.82; the council authorized awarding that contract. For the SR‑9 and John Liner roundabout, SRV Construction, Inc. (Anacortes) was the low bidder at $2,329,741.50; council authorized the mayor to execute that contract.
Coordination and construction notes: Staff stressed coordination with PUD and other utilities before paving Township Street to avoid near‑term dig‑ups; the council asked for compaction and acceptance testing to ensure final pavement grades and to avoid uneven patches.
Ending: Council approved both contract awards and directed staff to manage scheduling, utility coordination and contractor compaction testing while the projects proceed to construction.
