The Seattle-area Sound Transit Board of Directors authorized the award of the construction contract for the Sounder D-to-M Streets Track and Signal project to low-bidder MidMountain Contractors, Inc. The project will build a new commuter rail line from East D to South M Streets in Tacoma.
Work on the contract is
anticipated to begin in late September. When complete, the D-to-M Streets track
will connect with the M-to-Lakewood segment, extending Sounder south line

Lakewood will begin in 2012.
MidMountain, headquartered
in Kirkland, Wash., submitted a bid of $40,823,190, $25.6 million below the
