City awards $220,239.85 contract for pedestrian crossings near school and fire station
Summary
Benton City awarded a $220,239.85 contract to Ellis and Earthworks to build pedestrian crossings at several locations, including near the fire station and a school; staff said the project is within state transportation funding.
The council approved a contract award to Ellis and Earthworks for a pedestrian crossing project totaling $220,239.85.
Council and staff described the work as being within the state transportation budget and said crossings will be installed at several locations, including the block above the fire station and near the school. Public works staff said DOD requirements prevented placing a crossing directly in front of a church and that the crossing locations reflect project constraints.
The contract was presented as within the approved budget and council approved the resolution authorizing the mayor to execute the agreement.
Councilors thanked staff for their work coordinating with the state and for advancing a project they said would improve pedestrian safety in school and commercial areas.
