Emerson St. Sinkhole Repair

The Emerson St Sinkhole Repair project (MC-0322784 / WP# N10346) is a construction solicitation issued by the Port of Seattle to address a sinkhole at 1795 W Emerson Street. The scope of work involves repairing a disconnect between the BNSF stormwater/sewer line and the King County sewer line, which requires sealing the existing connection and establishing a new one in coordination with King County. Key deliverables include asphalt excavation and repaving, the installation of one new catch basin in Emerson Street, and the replacement of an existing catch basin on port property. Due to the location on a busy roadway, the project requires significant traffic controls and adherence to SDOT street use and City of Seattle side sewer permits. The contract has an estimated value between 400,000 and 600,000 dollars, with a performance period of 120 calendar days from the start of work. Bids must be submitted electronically by October 26, 2026, and must include a bid bond and a Women and Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE) Inclusion Plan. Award responsibility is based on tax registration, insurance coverage, legal standing, and WMBE compliance. The successful contractor must provide performance and payment bonds for the full contract sum and appoint a representative available 24 hours a day during construction. Technical execution must follow Washington State Department of Transportation and City of Seattle standard specifications for earthwork, storm drainage, and exterior improvements.
