At its meeting on February 1, 2011, the City Council selected Strider Construction out of Bellingham, WA as the general contractor for the Pioneer Way Reconstruction Project. As the lowest responsible bidder out of six firms that competed for the job, Strider’s bid amount of $3,864,363.27 will, with the exception of the City’s share for undergrounding the electrical and communication utilities, pay for re-constructing the historic street. This bid was substantially less than the engineer’s estimate of $5,101,326.92.
Strider Construction has recently completed a very similar project involving reconstruction of a downtown street in Arlington, WA. The Arlington project included an overhead utility conversion and complete street reconstruction and was completed to the great satisfaction of the City and the business owners.
Based on the preliminary schedule, we expect Strider Construction to start moving equipment into town toward the end of February. More details to come!
