Council awards 2025 pavement‑preservation contract to Lakeside Industries
Summary
Council approved award of the 2025 pavement preservation project to Lakeside Industries after six bids; the contract covers pavement repairs and ADA curb‑ramp improvements.
The Kent City Council on April 15 approved awarding the 2025 pavement preservation project to Lakeside Industries Inc., accepting a bid lower than the city's engineer estimate and authorizing the mayor to sign final documents.
Public works staff reported the project drew six bidders. Lakeside Industries submitted the apparent low bid of $3,223,670; the engineer’s estimate had been $4,100,000, staff said. The scope includes pavement dig‑outs and repairs across multiple neighborhoods and replacement or installation of curb ramps to bring locations into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Council Member Fincher moved to award the contract and asked the council to authorize signature of final documents "subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the city attorney and public works director." The motion received a second and passed unanimously, according to the meeting record.
Ending: Public works staff said work will proceed in summer months and that crews will return later to complete striping and ADA ramp work once pavement has cured.
