This project is funded by the water enterprise fund. The City will contract out to Western Excavating for the water main project, but the Street Department will repave the road. The time frame for the project is Spring 2020. Western Excavating is in compliance with the City of Missoula's Apprenticeship Bidder's Preference program, which requires 10% apprentice labor hours for the project in return for a 5% bidders preference.
