Repairs will be prioritized based on condition assessments and public requests, ensuring compliance with ADA standards and local infrastructure guidelines.
The project aims to enhance overall neighborhood walkability and maintain the integrity of the city’s concrete infrastructure. The City prepared a request for formal bids to solicit contractors capable of completing these repairs on an on-call basis for the City.
The City advertised the Project for bids in accordance with BMC Section 3.30.070. Two bids were submitted at the formal bid opening on July 23, 2025. The results are listed below:
