Sidewalk Trip Hazard Removal

The City of Port Angeles awarded a firm fixed-price contract for sidewalk trip hazard removal (Contract CON-2018-51) to Precision Concrete Cutting, Inc., located in Puyallup, Washington. The contract is priced at $42.40 per inch-foot, with a not-to-exceed total of $10,000. The project scope includes precision saw cutting of sidewalk elevations ranging from ¼ inch to 2 inches to remove trip hazards, applying ADA-compliant slopes (1:8 or 1:12), debris removal, and restoration of surfaces with uniform texture and sufficient coefficient of friction (≥0.6). Work is to be performed on City streets within Port Angeles during weekdays from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, following established traffic control measures in accordance with MUTCD. Deliverables include detailed documentation of repairs with location mapping, proof of environmentally safe debris disposal, and warranty coverage for defects post-completion. The contractor is responsible for compliance with safety standards, prevailing wage laws, and maintenance of insurance coverage meeting City requirements prior to commencement of work. The contract documents reflect a competitive bidding process completed by November 1, 2018, with Precision Concrete Cutting submitting the lowest bid compared to other bidders and the government estimate of $45 per inch-foot. Payment terms specify invoicing by the contractor referencing the City contract number, with the City making payments within 30 days via warrant. The contract requires completion of all work by November 16, 2018, with a 90-day performance window commencing 10 calendar days post-notice to proceed. The contractor must correct all defects identified during inspections conducted at the work site. Insurance provisions impose strict requirements for coverage and maintenance, and failure to comply constitutes material breach, permitting contract termination. No federal acquisition regulations formally apply, but the contract contains extensive local administrative terms including bonding thresholds triggered for contracts exceeding $35,000, wage payment certifications, and administrative oversight by the Public Works and Utilities Department. The procurement follows a limited public works process without socioeconomic certifications or federal business identifiers.
