The new issue features Port of Tacoma security officer Marty Kapsh, who has been a member of the security team since 2000 and trains responders locally and internationally on Port of Tacoma security and emergency management; results of a recent simulation piloting a 13,000 TEU vessel through the Blair Waterway; the recent relocation of breakbulk operations to the East Blair One terminal in an effort to provide Port of Tacoma customers with a state-of-the-art facility; and a partnership between the Port of Tacoma and the City of Tacoma to fix Port of Tacoma Road.

City Council approves contract for Old Town Dock project Article and Photo By Todd Matthews, Editor Design illustrations Courtesy City of Tacoma Tacoma City Council Tuesday awarded a contract to Olympia, Wash.-based Rod McConkey Construction for a project that will bring a variety of new amenities to the area near the recently renovated, 141-year-old Old Town Dock, including two public restrooms, sidewalk and crosswalk improvements, a rain garden, and new landscaping and irrigation. The City set a project budget of approximately $260,000 using bond funds and began to solicit bids in November. A pre-bid meeting was held on Dec. 3. The deadline to submit bids expired on Dec. 17. Ten contractors submitted bids for the project: Nordland Construction NW (Nordland, Wash.) — $262,000; Bershauer Construction, Inc. (Olympia, Wash.) — $237,609; Lincoln Construction, Inc. (Spanaway, Wash.) — $242,905; Westmark Construction
(Tacoma, Wash.) — $336,691; Rod McConkey Construction, LLC (Olympia, Wash.) — $218,777.83; T Miller Construction (Auburn, Wash.) — $303,700; Pease & Sons, Inc. (Tacoma, Wash.) — $254,548; Durels Construction & Management, LLC (Tumwater, Wash.) — $231,355; Jody Miller Construction (Tacoma, Wash.) — $281,000; and Pease Construction (Lakewood, Wash.) — $249,750. According to City staff, the contract with Rod McConkey Construction reflects a base award of $218,777.83, plus applicable sales tax, plus a 20 per cent contingency, for a cumulative amount of $262,533.40, plus applicable sales tax. Tacoma's once-crumbling and shuttered Old Town Dock, located at 2200 Ruston Way, was closed to the public in the summer of 2008 for a variety of safety reasons, including a deteriorating deck and structural deficiencies. The dock re-opened last May following a $2.3 million renovation.
