Staff Contact:
Fran Eide, PE, City Engineer, Public Works Engineering, 360.753.8422
Presenter(s):
None - Consent Calendar Item.
Background and Analysis:
City staff recently encountered potholes and pavement failures, caused by cold temperatures, snow, and then rain on Henderson Boulevard SE between Plum Street and North Street. Due to the severity of some of the pavement failures, one lane along a portion of Henderson Boulevard is closed. Failure of the road could result in threats to public safety and property damage. Delayed response to repair the pavement will necessitate even more costly repairs and expose motorists to potentially unsafe conditions.
The City Engineer determined that the situation on Henderson Boulevard SE constituted an emergency and entered into contract with Lakeside Industries for emergency repairs of the pavement.
Public Works staff will continue to work with Lakeside to finalize the repairs.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
The neighborhoods and surrounding businesses will be notified of this work. City staff continue to monitor and fill potholes and maintain traffic control along the route, with a focus on Henderson Boulevard between the I-5 overpass and Plum Street, due to the type and volume of traffic.
Options:
1. Approve a Resolution authorizing a Public Works Emergency Contract for repair of pavement on Henderson Boulevard SE.
2. Do not approve a Resolution authorizing a Public Works Emergency Contract for repair of pavement on Henderson Boulevard SE.
3. Direct staff to modify the Resolution to return for approval at a later date.
Financial Impact:
The repairs are expected to cost between $250,000 and $350,000 and will be paid with Transportation capital funds.
