Coos County awards Sealander Creek fish‑passage contract to Papaya Contracting LLC for $57,921
Summary
The board approved a contract with Papaya Contracting LLC to replace two culverts on Sealander Road to restore fish passage; Coos Watershed Association will contribute $15,000 in grant funds toward the project.
Coos County commissioners voted to award a contract to Papaya Contracting LLC for the Sealander Creek Fish Passage Project in the amount of $57,921.
Paul (Road Department/Presenter) explained the project involves replacing two culverts on Sealander Road (a county road) and that Coos Watershed Association has grant funds on hand; the watershed association will contribute $15,000 toward the contract. County staff said the pipes are already on-site and the county put the work out to bid; Papaya Contracting was the lowest responsible bidder.
A commissioner moved to award the contract and to authorize the roadmaster to sign the contract upon County Council approval; a second followed and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Why it matters: Culvert replacements are intended to restore fish passage and are part of the county’s multi‑year partnership with Coos Watershed Association. The county will contract for the work and invoice the watershed association for its $15,000 contribution once the contract is in place.
Ending: The board authorized the roadmaster to sign the contract upon County Council approval so work can proceed with the selected contractor.
