The City of Snoqualmie Parks & Public Works Committee met on August 18, 2026 (the meeting metadata lists August 19 UTC). The committee discussed rebidding the city’s landscape services contract, which began in 2022 and expires at the end of 2026 after its two optional extension years have been used. Staff proposed a new two-year initial term with two optional one-year extensions and said the scope would include newly identified maintenance areas. The committee reviewed three approaches for the Snoqualmie Parkway median: maintain existing landscaping, renovate the aging turf and irrigation, or replace some turf with lower-maintenance plantings. Staff will provide the committee with a list of the additional areas and rough cost estimates for irrigation repairs and other options. No contract award or procurement vote occurred; the anticipated 2026 and 2027 contract costs were not discernible in the transcript.

Members discussed potential capital costs, maintenance and traffic-control costs, water use, environmental considerations, and whether changes could affect utility budgets or rates. One member referred to a possible half-million-dollar expenditure, but no estimate was confirmed. The committee gave no final direction on the landscaping alternatives. The meeting also included approval of the prior meeting minutes and discussion of a future budget presentation and a possible River Trail ribbon cutting; no other procurement action was identified.
