Loading...
Summary
Cowlitz County approved a $799,519.84 bid from Northwest Construction General Contracting to replace an aging septic system at the Camelot mobile-home area; construction is expected to start in about six weeks and finish by late summer.
Cowlitz County commissioners approved a Public Works recommendation to award the Camelot large on‑site sewer system replacement contract to Northwest Construction General Contracting for $799,519.84.
Patrick Harvison of Cowlitz County Public Works presented the motion item, saying the county initially rejected a prior round of bids after only two responses, then rebid and received nine offers. He said the winning bid was $799,519.84 and that the project will replace the existing mid‑1980s septic system that serves roughly 55 connections in the Camelot mobile‑home area.
Commissioners asked about the project timeline and maintenance. Harvison estimated ground breaking in about six weeks and completion by the end of summer, calling it a four‑ to six‑month project. A motion to approve the recommended bid was made and approved by voice vote.
The board recorded the award amount and directed Public Works to proceed with contract execution and standard permitting and bonding processes.
