CHELAN – The bids for the Lakeside Trail Water Street to West Woodin Avenue Project have been opened, reviewed for compliance, and submitted to the June 4 Chelan City Council workshop. And the winner is: KRCI LLC of East Wenatchee. KRCI came in with the lowest of the three bids received, $3,779,010, below the city’s estimated construction cost of $4,129,782. The other two bidders were:
After SCJ Alliance Consulting Services reviewed the bidding documents for compliance with the bid process, SCJ and city staff recommended the award to KRCI and the council so approved.
The award clears a major hurdle in a process that began in April 2024 when the city public works team announced that it received the grant WSDOT funding. The state Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) provided an additional $500,000 and the city is kicked in $252,500 to bring the total funding package to $3,725,500.
In an SCJ team PowerPoint presentation to that April 2024 workshop, SCJ Project Manager Dan Ireland said the trail is already being used on an informal basis/\.
“We are going to make it more adaptable to all people, all users, and all abilities,” Ireland said.
SCJ also introduced various design renderings for buffer strips and other trail features.
The development timeline is about six months behind the original projection to award the contract in December 2024-January 2025.
At last month’s city council meeting Public Works Director Jake Youngren said construction is scheduled to get underway after the July 4 weekend.
