Details on the Trinity award

The Trinity Drive project scope covers a new primary circuit running from near the gas station intersection west to Timber Ridge and replaces an aging buried section of feeder that previously experienced faults. County staff told the board the work is primarily under sidewalk and will use a traffic buffer in Trinity’s center lane, minimizing full‑lane closures. Bids were solicited; one bidder (Double EEE LLC) submitted an acceptable bid. The board’s motion included a 20% contingency and a request that staff forward the recommended award to county counsel for contract execution.
