Port Townsend awards contracts for picnic shelter rebuild and Discovery Road safety project
Summary
Council accepted a low responsive bid to rebuild the Chesimo Mill picnic shelter and awarded the Discovery Road bike/ped safety improvement contract, directing the city manager to finalize construction agreements.
Public works staff described value-engineering and rebidding efforts that reduced costs for a picnic-shelter rebuild and explained the design and funding for the Discovery Road bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements.
For the shelter rebuild (Chesimo/Chetsey Mill picnic shelter), staff recommended awarding the construction contract to Anderson Homes for $128,312 after multiple bids and value-engineering that moved some work in-house. Council moved to accept the bid and authorize the manager to execute the contract; the motion passed.
For the Discovery Road project, staff explained that additional funding allowed the design to proceed and that the project will tie into a nearby bike path and Sheridan Street paving work. Council voted to award the construction contract to the lowest responsive bidder and authorized the city manager to sign the required documents.
Both actions were approved by council voice votes; staff noted schedules that align construction work with school breaks and county paving to minimize disruption.
