body
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
ORIGINATOR: Lori Ericsson
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Ken Klein 11/14/24
PURPOSE: Approval of Bid Award Recommendation PW24-008SB Red Bridge #537 Preventative Maintenance
BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Works (PW) has received federal bridge program funding to complete a preventative maintenance project on Red Bridge #537. The 209-foot-long three span bridge was built in 1954. Red Bridge provides the only year-round access to properties on the Mountain Loop Highway east of the bridge and serves as an important resource for recreational visitors to the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest with an ADT of 942 for 2022. Under Bid PW24-008SB, Combined Construction, Inc. was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The low bid was $2,704,110.00 which is 13.7% higher than the engineers estimate of $2,378,585.00. Under SCC 3.04.165 special approval is required from Council where the bid exceeds the Engineers Estimate by more than 10%. Public Works staff have prepared a memo with their recommendations and justifications for accepting a bid that is more than 10% above the engineers estimate including approval from FHWA to 100% fund the increased bid amount. Approval of the Bid Award Recommendation is sought in order to continue the preventative maintenance project on Red Bridge #537.
