Frank Gurney Inc.

Public-works filings on the licence run from 2001 to 2026, with the Washington State Department of Transportation, Spokane County Public Works and the City of Spokane as the main agencies. The list also reaches Spokane Valley, Grant, Stevens, Whitman, Adams, Chelan, Okanogan, Pend Oreille and Klickitat counties. The state insures the crew under excavation, highway sign installation and sign erection classes, which matches the guardrail-and-signing work the company advertises. It also lists concrete barrier manufacturing, soil drilling and safety appliance rentals. A Spokane County grading permit in 2026 is on the licence. The workforce band is 51 to 75, and the state lists Thomas, Carl, Glenn and James Stewart as principals since 1980. This is a roadway safety and infrastructure contractor, and its customers are mostly transportation agencies and the general contractors who win their bids. Commercial and public projects that need guardrail, barrier, signing or rock drilling fit squarely. A homeowner planning a remodel or a small yard grading job is outside what this outfit is set up for. Private owners with a long access road, a commercial lot or a development entrance that needs barrier or signage are closer to the work it does. Road work in the Inland Northwest follows the weather. Frozen ground through the winter makes drilling and post driving harder, and freeze-thaw in early spring softens shoulders and subgrade, so much of the guardrail, barrier and grading work lands between late spring and fall. Dry summers are good for excavation, though dust control matters on open sites. Anyone with private site or access-road work around Spokane, Cheney or Mead does well to plan early. Contractors who serve agencies book their crews around the state and county construction season.
