Through the course of various excavation projects throughout the City, the Street Department has accumulated a large inventory of boulders which are now being stored at the materials yard at the Utility Building. Under CMC 2.74.020, Council can set a fixed price for the surplus of property, or any lot or portion thereof, and the property can be sold in total, or in lots, to the public without a call for bids. City staff is proposing to surplus the existing boulders at a current market rate of $450/ton. 

Bids were opened on May 10th for the Final Treatment System Project (Purple Pipe Project-Task 1) Three bids were received with Clearwater Construction and Management being the lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $ 7,356,812.00 plus applicable taxes.
