Approval for Award of the Construction Contract for the Retaining Walls - Replacement and Installation - Redmond Way @ Willows Project to Kamins Construction Inc., in the Amount of $1,078,733

 

OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

Construction bids for the Redmond Way Rockery Replacement Project were opened and Kamins Construction Inc. was the low bidder.  The bidder’s unit prices, extensions, and additions have been checked for accuracy and unbalanced bid items.  References have been checked and found to be satisfactory. 

The existing rock retaining wall at Redmond Way and West Lake Sammamish Parkway is at the end of its safe and useful life and has shown significant signs of weathering and degradation.

This project will consist of the following infrastructure improvements:

 

-                     Replace 1000 linear feet of failing rockery retaining wall.

-                     Replace 1000 linear feet of sidewalk and constructed to ADA standards. 

-                     Replace 45 linear feet of storm pipe.

-                     Plant new trees and ground cover along the steep slopes to prevent erosion.
