Project Evaluation: SR 432, I-5 to Oregon Way Paving

Cowlitz County

This project paved approximately four miles of SR 432 from I-5 to Oregon Way in the city of Longview, the Washington approach of the SR 433 Lewis and Clark Bridge, and the ramps at the I-5, SR 432 interchange (Exit 36). This work gives drivers a smoother ride, extends the life of the existing pavement, and upgrades all the safety features on the highways to current standards.

Design: Construction Management: Schedule: Cost: Engineer’s estimate:  $2,409,906 Contractor’s bid amount:  $2,376,684   Anticipated final payment to contractor:  $2,444,380

Construction Summary:

WSDOT and Lakeside Industries worked together very closely to successfully complete this project.  Overall, the contract was constructed as designed.  There were relatively minor change orders and these issues would have been difficult to detect during the design phase.  Material procurement for one change order did extend construction activities beyond the original schedule, however, impacts to the traveling public were relatively minor.

As the majority of work activities were conducted at night, communications were periodically strained between day and night shifts.  As a result, WSDOT and the contractor worked together to address emerging issues and ensure critical construction activities were successfully completed.  The vast majority of construction activities were conducted with a high quality of workmanship and within the anticipated construction schedule.  WSDOT and the contractor conducted open and frank discussions to address a few quality control issues.  These discussions developed mitigation measures and helped ensure future construction activities were conducted with highest commitment to safety and quality.
