https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article315414479.html Local leaders have long said building out property along the Sacramento River could spur economic development, and even convince a MLB expansion team to play in West Sacramento. “The I Street Bridge Replacement Project represents a significant, once-in-a-generation public infrastructure investment,” according to the city of Sacramento. The city of Sacramento posted on Dec. 19 its request for project bids, which where due April 8. Three companies submitted bids: • Long Beach-based Traylor Bros. Inc. for $516,936,258.45. • Pleasanton-based California Engineering Contractors Inc. for $477,331,908.45. • Concord-based Flatiron Dragados Constructors Inc. for $398,514,792.85. If the council rejects the firms’ offers, city staff can then engage with contractors to better understand the market conditions and explore other avenues for funding, Miller wrote in an email. Infrastructure projects across the country are similarly squeezed by cost pressures, she wrote. The connector uses 16.8 million pounds of steel, according to the city of Sacramento. The price of steel is rising again this year, after peaking an all-time high in November 2021, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. President Donald Trump has placed tariffs on steel, and the Iran War has increased the volatility of steel prices, according to the British Stainless Steel Association. The lanes of the original, double-deck I Street Bridge, which is owned by Union Pacific, are too narrow for buses and bikes, according to the city. Trains will continue to run on the lower level, and officials plan to keep the upper deck for pedestrians and bicyclists. Both Sacramento and West Sacramento pooled their money to finance the I Street Bridge replacement. On Tuesday, the City Council voted to accept $25 million in funds from Measure A, Sacramento County’s transportation tax, from the Sacramento Transportation Agency. West Sacramento earmarked $21 million from its financing district last year to help build the new steel structure. The complete cost for the bridge, which includes the construction, management and design costs, is closer to $360 million, with $250 million provided by Caltrans. Grants will help supplement the project. Through the financing woes, Miller remained optimistic. “Our focus is on getting this right, maintaining momentum, and delivering a project that serves Sacramento for generations to come,” she wrote. --------------------------------------------------- Bid is cancelled "As per the owner the project has been cancelled. team is actively seeking updated information."
