Summary
Council awarded two contracts to Baldwin/Knife River Construction for FEMA-funded local road repairs and FHWA-funded arterial rehabilitation; staff said both projects are scheduled for spring construction and year-end completion, and that match funding includes CDBG-DR and other grants.
The Paradise Town Council voted to award two major roadway-rehabilitation contracts to the apparent low bidder, Baldwin/Knife River Construction, for a FEMA-funded residential/local-road package and a federal‑aid (FHWA) arterial/collector package.
Staff said the residential/local program had a low bid of roughly $6.5 million against an engineer's estimate near $8.1 million, and the federal-aid project’s low bid was about $8.25 million against an estimate of $10.2 million. Funding sources include FEMA, CDBG-DR match funds through state housing sources, and Federal Highways Administration funds for collectors/arterials.
Construction is anticipated to start in spring and finish by the end of the year, phased to follow utility work (PG&E and PID) on Skyway and Clark. Staff said public notification (mailers, door-hangers) will advise residents about timing and traffic impacts.
Council approved both awards after staff explained the bid review and funding breakdown; motions passed by roll-call vote.
