City awards $1.46 million waterline replacement contract to ICON Construction
Summary
Council authorized a $1,463,679.04 contract with ICON Construction & Development for the 2025 waterline replacement program covering multiple neighborhoods; staff said the water fund is budgeted and will fund the work, with door‑to‑door communications planned prior to construction starting mid‑May.
The West Linn City Council authorized the city manager April 14 to sign a contract with ICON Construction & Development for the 2025 waterline replacement project in the amount of $1,463,679.04.
Public Works Director Eric Leisz described the three‑phase program for 2025: phase one in the Robinwood/Arbor/Upper Mid Hill area (addressing plastic service locations and relocations), phase two in the Parker/Sunset/Reed area (including upsizing undersized 0.75‑inch galvanized services to an 8‑inch main), and phase three completing a short section on Dollar and work at Santa Anita/Hidden Springs to relocate an exposed main from a creek bottom. Leisz said the project had 10 bidders; ICON was the lowest responsive bidder and has completed prior projects with the city. Staff reported the water fund is healthy and budgeted for the work.
Leisz gave a construction estimate and schedule: the contractor hopes to mobilize by mid‑May after submitting submittals, bonds and paperwork; staff said communications staff will distribute door hangers and other outreach in affected areas as the project commences. He also outlined quantities cited in the report: replacement of segments of 6‑inch, 8‑inch and 10‑inch piping across the program area.
Council moved and seconded authorization of the contract; the motion passed on roll call.
The contract is funded from the city water fund; staff said they intend to coordinate paving and road work after pipe installation to limit repeated street cuts.
