County approves $1.5 million amendment to continue Harrison Avenue corridor final design
Summary
Lewis County approved Amendment No. 2 with WSP USA, adding $1,500,000 to continue engineering and finish final design for the Harrison Avenue corridor improvements; Reynolds Avenue design will be scaled back per city-county agreement.
Lewis County approved an amendment on May 20 to increase the county’s contract with WSP USA by $1,500,000 to complete final design and make the Harrison Avenue corridor project advertisement-ready.
Public Works Director Jeff Soderquist said the project design had progressed to about 60% on both Harrison and Reynolds corridors, but the county and city agreed to focus final design efforts on Harrison while stepping back on Reynolds. "This 1,500,000.0 will get us to final design and ad ready for the Harrison project," Soderquist said.
Why it matters: The amendment funds continuation of engineering and design services to reach final design and procurement readiness for a major county corridor project. The action authorizes additional consultant spending but does not itself award construction contracts.
Details: The amendment is described as Amendment No. 2 to the existing agreement with WSP USA. County staff said design work had reached approximately 60% on both corridors before the scope adjustment. The board approved the package of deliberation items that included this amendment by a 2-0 vote.
Next steps: Public Works will use the additional funds to complete final design, prepare bid-ready documents and proceed with procurement steps as appropriate under county contracting rules.
