PORT ANGELES-Port of Port Angeles approves a $1.4 million contract to complete stormwater conveyance improvements on Terminal 3.

The port will contract this project to Glacier Environment Service Inc., a Lynwood construction company that specializes in remedial site work and mechanical system installation.

Construction is scheduled to begin Aug. 22 and end Jan. 3, 2017. The project will be over budget $1.2 million for the improvements. Original designs were to pipe stormwater under the dock, but the maintenance and repair of pipes hanging under the dock would be costly and difficult to perform. So the design was changed to focus on surface runoff to convey stormwater back to the upland for collection in underground piping.
