The council accepted the low responsive bid of $1,433,303 from Knife River Corporation for the Highline Road Phase 1 El Rancho intersection and signal improvement project.
Staff described the project scope: construct a traffic signal with dedicated turn lanes to replace an all-way stop, widen Highline Road approaching the intersection for the new lanes, install storm drainage, replace or install sidewalks, curb and gutter, and update pedestrian ramps for ADA compliance. The city has been awarded $2,000,000 in state funding from the Idaho Transportation Department; staff said the project is ready to proceed to construction and is fully funded by the grant with no matching funds required.
Council moved to accept the bid and authorize an agreement with Knife River Corporation and mayoral signature; the motion passed on roll call.
