The Arizona State Transportation Board recently awarded a construction contract to Fann Contracting, Inc. to widen a one-mile segment of SR 69 in Prescott.
The $9.7 million widening and improvement project, which is being done in partnership with the Central Yavapai Metropolitan Planning Organization, will construct one additional travel lane in each direction on SR 69 between Prescott Lakes Parkway and Yavpe Connector (mileposts 294-295), which will widen the highway from four to six lanes and include a raised median. A raised median will also be constructed along the one-mile segment of SR 69 between Yavpe Connector and Heather Heights (mileposts 295-296).
In addition to increasing the capacity of the roadway and improving traffic safety, the project includes constructing new curb and gutter, installing new pipe culverts and storm drains, replacing a traffic signal and other related work.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the summer 2024 and take approximately nine months to complete.
I wonder what other companies bid on this job? Why does Fann Construction seem to always be awarded these jobs?
