County awards multiple road, construction and equipment contracts totaling several million dollars
Summary
At its meeting the board approved bids and intergovernmental purchases including chip seal pavement work, Professional Boulevard phase 3–4, a pavement-condition survey, cellular monitoring for pump stations, a fire-training tower and grinder pumps; all motions passed unanimously.
The Washington County commissioners approved a series of construction and equipment contracts and intergovernmental purchases Tuesday, awarding multiple bids that county staff said are budgeted in capital improvement accounts.
Engineering Director Scott Hobbs recommended and the board approved a $1,362,145.30 contract to Russell Standard Corporation for FY25 chip-seal pavement maintenance and rehabilitation work. Hobbs said the contract covers about 22 miles of rural roads and includes standard State Highway Administration liquid-asphalt price adjustments.
Also approved was a $2,184,611 low-bid award to C. William Hetzer for Professional Boulevard phases 3 and 4, to extend the boulevard about a quarter-mile from Yale Drive to Rosewood Village. The project is a budgeted capital improvement and carries standard liquidated damages for delayed completion.
Purchasing Director Brandy Kintner presented an intergovernmental cooperative purchase of a pavement-scanning survey from StreetScan USA for $207,770, to support long-term pavement preservation decision-making. The board authorized staff to use the contract awarded by Pierce County, Washington.
The commissioners approved a $210,740 award to STH for cellular remote-monitoring and control equipment for pump stations; county staff said an EPA grant will cover 80 percent of equipment costs (about $168,592) and the remaining roughly $42,148 will be capital funds from the Department of Water Quality.
The county also authorized an intergovernmental purchase of a fire-training tower from WHP Training Towers for $1,608,582.75 and approved a procurement of 60 Liberty grinder pumps and 52 control panels from BT Plumbing Supply for $123,436 to replenish inventory and support retrofits.
All procurement motions carried by recorded 4‑0 votes. County staff said the awards will be posted on the county website and contractors will coordinate notice-to-proceed dates with the divisions involved.
