Goal 1, Objective 1.2: Ensure our infrastructure, including buildings and utilities, is safe, environmentally responsible and well maintained.

Lakeside Industries, Inc., of Vancouver, Washington, has satisfactorily completed the subject improvements in accordance with the plans and specifications.  The original construction contract bid amount was $668,754.00.  Final construction costs were $805,875.37, an increase of approximately 20% from original bid amount.  The increase in costs was due to a project decision to add streets to the project for efficient delivery of services within available program budget. 

The City received very favorable bid prices for the work to be performed under this contract.  As a result, the City and the Contractor agreed to add sections of several additional streets to this project, including NE 112th Street, NE 137th Street, and Thurston Way, which had areas of deteriorated pavement that would have been more costly for City maintenance crews to repair.

This project had a minimum apprenticeship goal of 3% of the utilized labor hours for this project, which corresponded to 169 labor hours required.  The contractor exceeded this goal by delivering a total of 319 apprenticeship labor hours for the project, yielding a percentage of approximately 6% of the total hours used.
