Sept. 30, 2024 Project Update

The plans and specifications are complete and ready to solicit bids from contractors. The federal funding associated with this project requires the CPKC Rail agreement to be signed before advertising for bids. CPKC Rail has been unresponsive recently regarding the agreement. We've been trying to get this completed since spring. This agreement is now affecting the project schedule. Assuming we get this signed in the next week or two, we hope to award a contract late November. This would allow road closures and construction to start January 2025. Staff is concerned with the potential impact this delay may have on project pricing. Thanks
