Grand Coulee city streets are about to receive some tender loving care at no cost to the city.
The Grand Coulee City Council, at their Aug. 20 council meeting, accepted a bid from Davenport-based company DW Excavating of $576,005 to repair streets throughout the city.
Engineering and additional other costs of $104,800 paid to the engineering firm Gray & Osborne bring the total to $680,805.
The repairs will be paid for with a combination of money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which will pay $510,604, plus a 25% match from the city.
The city’s match will also be covered by the state Transportation Improvement Board and Washington State Emergency Management which will each also contribute $85,101, meaning the city won’t have to pay anything for the work to be done.
Grand Coulee received an award from FEMA in 2018 to pay for damage caused by the harsh 2016-17 winter.
The work should start in September and be finished in October.
