Loading...
Summary
Goldendale approved a $109,830 consultant agreement with Pioneer Surveying for the 2025 chip-seal program and adopted a Transportation Improvement Board grant resolution authorizing chip-seal work across the city.
At its Dec. 16 meeting, the Goldendale City Council authorized an agreement with Pioneer Surveying and Engineering for design and construction-phase engineering for the city's 2025 chip-seal program in an amount not to exceed $109,830.
Councilmembers asked whether the engineering cost would be charged against a cited $1,000,000 chip-seal grant and whether the city must advertise and bid for a contractor to perform the chip-seal work. Staff replied that bid procurement is required and that some grant contracts allow design and construction costs to be included in the grant scope depending on contract language; staff said they would review the contract language and report back.
The council also approved Resolution No. 741, authorizing the mayor to enter into a TIB grant agreement to chip-seal roads across Goldendale. The motion and resolution passed with affirmative votes recorded in the transcript and no opposition noted.
Next step: staff will confirm whether design fees are included in the grant match and proceed with procurement steps consistent with grant and procurement requirements.
