Cowlitz County commissioners approved a consent agenda that included multiple contract amendments, calls for bids and vouchers totaling $6,948,720.11.
The Moderator explained the Roads Administration is accepting a bond in lieu of the typical 5% retainer for the Dyke Road Reconstruction project (project number 12 99) with North Cascade Excavating. The board also approved Amendment No. 5 for RH2 Engineering, Inc. on the Riderwood supplemental water source project (project number 200 29 48) to add an extra tank and cover changes to the original plans. The Moderator described the engineering amendment as "pretty standard practice."
Additionally, commissioners approved contract amendments to inmate food services: a juvenile food services amendment that extends the contract and raises the price per meal to $2.14 (a 3.8% increase) and an adult inmate food services adjustment of 3.5%. The board authorized calls for bids for a geomorphic assessment (to support dredging-related studies) and for 10,000 feet of high-density polyethylene pipe and SCRIM reinforced polyethylene geomembrane for landfill operations. The consent package included correspondence such as a Burke letter (dated July 2026) about an inspection plan and independent consultant team proposal.
