Sid Edinger, driving the Komatsu, begins the demolition and removal of corner sidewalks on Main Street, in preparation for installation of ADA ramps. Edinger works with Corridor Contracting out of Airway Heights. Marcus Olin is the crew foreman.

RITZVILLE – City council approved a contract with Corridor Contractors of Airway Heights for the Main Avenue Seal Coat and ADA Ramps project at their May 18 meeting.

The contract was hand-delivered to City Hall May 18, in time for the evening meeting, reported Tammy Turner, Project Administrative Assistant with Varela Engineering and Management. Clerk-Treasurer Julie Flyckt said City Attorney John Kragt "squeezed in time" to review it before the meeting.

Councilman Scott Yaeger said Corridor Contractor's bid of $249,501 came in below the engineer's estimate of $252,219.

Flyckt said the ramps are scheduled to be installed up to Memorial Day, with the seal coat project starting after that.
