Project Updates:  3/03/17 Big Sky Development returned signed contract to City.  Contractor is also working on Product Submittals.  City is coordinating Preconstruction Meeting, Open House Meetings to get the public’s feedback and working with North Idaho College (NIC) to minimize road closures and detour routes within Fort Grounds Area.

10/31/2017 - Project Closeout Update:  Despite an unusually rainy spring, Big Sky Corporation completed the projects on time and within budget.  Instead of City Streets Department completing this project’s roadway restoration, crews were reallocated to repairing streets damaged from the previous winter.  To meet project deadlines and avoid extensive summer road closures, the road prep and paving was completed by the lowest responsive bidder’s subcontractor, CDA Paving resulting in only 7.2% in Unforeseen Cost Overages.  Project Change Orders made up approximately 2.7%.  Streets, Storm, Water and Wastewater improvements were completed under one project umbrella.  No Reported Accidents, Minimal Complaints (3), and 3 additional Pedestrian ADA Ramps were added in the Fort Grounds area.  Project Warranty Permit Walk thru is scheduled for 04/30/2018.
