Kittitas County, WA - 10/25/2016 - Sealed bids for the Westside Road Safety Project were opened on October 17th, 2016 at 10 am with the low bid of $374,642.88 received from Petersen Brothers Inc. of Sumner, WA.
Kittitas County solicited bids for a safety improvement project on Westside Road, which is an east-west minor arterial that connects with I-90 and the Cle Elum area. It is a narrow and winding road with numerous sharp corners and steep shoulder drop-offs. The traffic safety project will install new guardrail, retrofit bridge rails and install new signs between mileposts 4.10 and 7.29. The project will be funded by Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The Kittitas County Board of County Commissioners authorized the award of the contract to Peterson Brother Inc. on October 24th, 2016. Kittitas County Engineer Lucas Huck states, "The contract with Petersen Brothers Inc is expected to be executed within the next two weeks with construction following shortly after." Construction zones require slower speeds and expectation of delays as equipment and workers will be in the road way. Please eliminate distractions in your vehicle and stay off your cell phone.
