THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Rico is approving a construction contract with Lewis Excavation Inc. to replace the water main beneath the Dolores River between Piedmont Street and North River Street. Work will install a new 6" main in a 12" casing, following designs by Alpine Land Consulting, with extensive permitting already completed. The lump-sum contract is capped at $269,250, with work scheduled from July 20 to September 7, 2026 during low river flows. This defines the incumbent for heavy civil work and signals potential follow-on needs in water infrastructure, permitting support, and construction services.
Contract requires performance and payment bonds at 120% of the max price, 5% retainage, and liquidated damages of $500/day for late completion.
