Water Reservoir Safety Improvements Phase 2

The Chelan Puget Public Utility District contracted a local construction firm to upgrade safety features at seven water‑reservoir sites in Chelan County, Washington. The work includes replacing and installing new access ladders, stairs, railings, and other safety components to meet regulatory and operational standards. The agency estimated the project at approximately $375 k, but the awarded bid was $379,500, reflecting a modest increase over the estimate. This contract is a single‑award, fixed‑price construction effort that demonstrates the district’s commitment to infrastructure safety and provides an entry point for firms with experience in civil and structural work on water‑resource facilities. • Scope: Ladder, stair, and railing replacement/installation at seven reservoirs. • Awarded Vendor: Ridgeline Custom Builders LLC (Wenatchee, WA). • Value: $379,500 (fixed‑price).
