Klamath County authorizes $3.9 million invitation to bid for urban pavement and concrete repairs
Summary
The board authorized Public Works to issue an invitation to bid for urban area pavement grind/inlay and overlay work and several concrete repairs, citing an engineer's estimate of about $3,900,000; the motion passed unanimously at the Feb. 17 meeting.
Public Works staff told the Klamath County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 17 that Foam Dale and Shasta Way face severe asphalt deterioration and Holmdale Road requires an overlay; several long-degraded cross gutters in the Sunset Village area also need replacement. "So the engineer's estimate is about $3,900,000," the Public Works presenter said.
Commissioner DeRout moved to authorize Public Works to issue an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the 2026 urban-area projects (grind/inlays, overlays and cross gutters) as a single package; Commissioner Minty seconded and the board voted aye, carrying the motion. The Public Works presenter confirmed the county expects to contract with a single concrete contractor to manage the concrete work rather than multiple contractors.
Why it matters: the ITB will initiate procurement for roadway preservation and safety work in Klamath County's urban growth boundary, and the county will use competitive bidding to select contractors for roughly $3.9 million in estimated work. The decision advances capital maintenance projects identified by county engineers.
Next steps: Public Works will issue the ITB as approved; specifics on procurement timeline, funding sources and award recommendations were not specified during the meeting.
