North Shore Lake Chelan Substation Construction

The Chelan Public Utility District awarded a $3.53 M contract for the design‑build construction of the North Shore Lake Chelan Substation. The work encompasses civil site work (grading, drainage, fencing, concrete foundations, curbing), electrical installation (grounding wells, conduit, conductors, aluminum bus fabrication), temporary power, station service, surfacing, landscaping, irrigation, and herbicide application. The contract was competitively bid, with two firms submitting proposals, but the award was given to Michels Pacific Energy, Inc. This project is a typical utility‑system construction effort requiring integrated civil and electrical trades. • Scope includes full substation build‑out (civil, structural, and electrical components). • Awarded to Michels Pacific Energy, Inc. at $3,527,441.37, exceeding the agency’s $3,420,000 estimate. • Solicitation managed by Minh Dang (email [email protected], phone (509) 661‑4322).
