ConDig (14-Jul–21)  Civil contractor and construction materials producer Granite Construction has driven off with an $18 million contract to reconstruct a roadway in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The deal includes the full revamp of 300 West from 900 South to 2100 South and will involved building a fully protected two-way bike lane, with the incorporation of greenery-filled “parkstrips” to aid in stormwater management.

Additional work includes cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) sewer lining, flat concrete work, traffic signal systems, and asphalt paving, Granite said.

Construction has already started on the project and is slated to be completed in the fall of 2022.

The company noted that materials provided by Granite facilities include 8,200 linear-feet of CIPP from Liner Products, a Granite Inliner company. Granite’s Cottonwood facility will provide 17,000 tons of hot-mix asphalt and the Coyote facility will provide 14,000 tons of aggregate base.

Last month, Granite unveiled that it had bagged a $12 million contract to revamp a runway at San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport in central California.

In March, Granite Construction secured a $267 million contract to build a water tunnel in Columbus, Ohio.

In January, Granite was selected as one of five contractors to participate in a $750 million multiple award to upgrade waterfront facilities to support Navy vessels and port operations in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.

In December, Granite secured a $101 million construction manager contract for the revamp of Highway 101 in Santa Barbara, California.

Granite Construction secured an $18 million deal in November to provide sub-contract work on the revamp of the University of California, Santa Cruz.
