Council awards $551,598.80 contract for pedestrian hybrid beacon replacements
Summary
Council accepted the low bid from FET Construction Services of $551,598.80 to replace pedestrian hybrid beacons; approximately 90% of construction will be covered by safety grant funding and OPWC assistance will help with remaining costs.
Service Director Shaw described the pedestrian hybrid beacon replacement project as previously authorized and solicited for construction bids in December. The low bid, from FET Construction Services, was $551,598.80 — about 24.6% under the engineer's estimate of $731,103 — and the recommended award was approved by council. Shaw noted that roughly 90% of construction costs will be covered by safety funding, with OPWC assistance likely to cover design and engineering costs.
Council approved Ordinance 10-2026 to accept the bid and authorize expenditure; members thanked the service department for securing strong competitive bids and for pursuing grant funding to reduce the city's local share.
