Unforeseen issues add $200,000 to Port of Camas-Washougal’s 41st Street project

The Port of Camas-Washougal’s effort to build a new street in the Steigerwald Commerce Center industrial park has hit a speed bump that will add about $200,000 to the project’s cost.

McKay Sposito, a Vancouver-based consultant firm, agreed to a contract with the port in 2024 to design and construct 41st Street, which will connect Lincoln and Grant streets near the port’s industrial park. The firm has since requested a contract amendment to address “a multitude of issues” at the project site, said Jennifer Taylor, the port’s environmental and projects manager.
