Unit Price Directional Drilling Utility Installation

The Chelan‑Puget Public Utility District issued a labor‑and‑materials solicitation (21‑16) for directional‑drilling utility installation, estimating the total project cost at $2.5 million. Three firms submitted bids ranging from $1.58 M to $2.14 M; the contract was ultimately awarded to Trenchless Construction Services, L.L.C. for $1,577,000.
