KINGMAN – A Scottsdale firm submitted the apparent low bid to construct Kingman’s Interstate 40 Rancho Santa Fe Traffic Interchange (TI). Pulice Construction, Inc. bid just under $44 million, almost $4.5 million above the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) estimate.
Three other well-known Arizona construction companies also bid for the work and the highest bid was submitted by Centennial, Colorado-based SEMA Construction, INC., at $58.3 million.
The City of Kingman previously paid ADOT $48.3 million to administer the project. The site is three miles east of the I-40/SR 66-Andy Devine TI.
“The project begins at milepost 55.85 and extends east along I-40 to milepost 57.27,” ADOT’s website said. “The proposed work consists of constructing two reinforced concrete girder bridges; widening of existing bridges over Rattlesnake Wash; constructing new asphalt concrete and concrete pavement; installing new concrete curb and gutter, sidewalk; installing pipe culverts, concrete box culverts, and storm drain pipes; installing new signing and pavement marking; installing new traffic signals and lighting; installing new fencing, guardrail, and other related work.”
It’s not yet clear whether bid award will be considered at the Sept. 20 or the Oct. 18 meetings of the Arizona State Transportation Board.
