Staff is seeking full Council approval to award a contract in the amount of $83,061 to TransTech Electric,
Inc. to replace the traffic signal pole at East Marginal Way South and nod Place South. This pole requires
replacement due to damage sustained during a vehicular collision. Washington Cities Insurance Authority
(WCIA) has conftrmed that the insurance company of the responsible party will be funding the total cost of
the replacement. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 7 REGULAR MEETING.
B. Green River Pedestrian & Utility Bridge Bid Award (Painting Only)
This item has been previously heard in Committee (see minutes dated August 27, 2007). It was determined
that the project would be re-bid in two separate packages - one for bridge repair and the second for bridge
painting. The bridge repair is complete and painting is ready to commence.
Staff is seeking full Council approval to award the project to the lowest bidder, Purcell Painting in the
amount of $134,000. Purcell Painting has successfully performed work for the City in the past. Bid
repackaging has kept the project below budget. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 7
REGULAR MEETING.
C. 2008 Overlay Program Bid Award
Staff is seeking full Council approval to award a bid in the amount of $697,322.75 to Watson Asphalt
Paving Company for the construction of the 2008 Annual Overlay and Repair Program. Watson Asphalt is
the apparent low bidder after the original lowest bid was retracted and relieved due to a calculation error.
Although Watson Asphalt has not worked on City projects recently; their work has been satisfactory for the
City in the past. The company is currently working on projects for King County and the Department of
Transportation. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 7 REGULAR MEETING.
