The city of Hermiston is on its way to making the South Hermiston Industrial Park more âshovel readyâ after city councilors awarded a bid for a $1.6 million construction project at their Monday, May 24, meeting.
The project will extend Southeast Campbell Drive down to East Penney Avenue, pave an undeveloped right of way for Southeast 10th Street connecting to Highway 395, create a new road leading into Port of Umatilla-owned property, and add water and sewer lines in the area.
The council awarded to contract to Tapani, Inc. of Richland, Washington, which was the apparent low bidder of four bids.
âAll four of these bids were within $100,000,â Assistant City Manager Mark Morgan said.
