Summary

Council approved awarding the West Poulsbo stormwater retrofit construction contract (Nelson Park) to Vette Industrial for the low bid (~$753,243), noting Ecology grant funding plus a city match and room for contingency and construction management.

Public Works presented the West Poulsbo stormwater retrofit project at Nelson Park and summarized the bid opening and funding. Staff said the project has state Ecology grant funding for construction (a little over $1 million) with a $200,000 city match; the engineer's estimate was ~$930,000 and the low responsive bidder was Vette Industrial at roughly $753,243.

"This is the West Palsbo stormwater retrofit project... a grant funded stormwater project with the goal of enhancing water quality to Liberty Bay," Charlie told council during the presentation. Council then voted to award the construction contract to Vette Industrial and authorized the mayor to execute the contract and approve change orders up to 10% of contract value.

Staff said the bids came in favorable and the budget includes contingency and construction management costs. The award moves the project toward construction within the budget described in staff materials.
