122nd Avenue East (146th St Ct E to 136th St E). CRP 5763

This project involves the comprehensive improvement of 122nd Avenue East in Pierce County, Washington, extending from 146th Street Ct E to 136th Street E, with the primary objective of widening the existing two-lane roadway to include two southbound through lanes, a two-way left turn lane, and one northbound through lane. Additional improvements encompass four-foot paved shoulders, cement concrete curb and gutter, six-foot wide sidewalks, an enclosed storm drainage system, water quality stormwater facilities, new illumination, and updates to the traffic signal systems at the intersections with 144th Street East and 136th Street East. The scope also includes the installation of approximately 440 lineal feet of 24-inch and 6-inch ductile iron water mains along a portion of the corridor, complete with valves, appurtenances, and service connections, all in compliance with WSDOT, AWWA, DIPRA, and NSF standards. Work must be executed in strict accordance with the attached contract plans, standard specifications, and agency-specific provisions, with performance conducted at designated locations within Pierce County and material delivery directed to the Pierce County Sewer and Traffic Operations Facility in Puyallup. The solicitation, numbered 2026-MPW-119 and issued on April 29, 2026, with a response deadline of May 20, 2026, is administered by Pierce County’s Procurement and Contract Services through Tacoma Water and local public works entities. Proposals must follow the official Pierce County format without alterations, be submitted either electronically via the county’s procurement portal or in sealed hard copy to the Finance Procurement Office in Tacoma, and include certified signatures, required representations such as the UBI number under state law, and compliance documentation. While the contract includes optional bid items labeled as Alternates and Additives, and requires the contractor to provide primary, noncontributory insurance naming Pierce County as an additional insured, no unit prices or total contract value are specified in the documentation, rendering the contract’s financial scope incomplete. Key personnel from both Pierce County and Tacoma Water serve as the technical administration team, overseeing inspection and acceptance directly on-site, with quality control governed by ASTM, AASHTO, and WSDOT standards for materials such as HMA, PHMA/PWMA, and geotextiles. Invoicing follows agency-specific procedures using progress estimates and Final Contract Voucher Certification, not federal systems
