Rodarte Construction

What Rodarte Construction does

Rodarte Construction, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned heavy civil construction contractor headquartered at 17 East Valley Hwy E in Auburn, Washington. Founded in 1978 by four brothers — Jerry, David, Frank Sr., and Roger Rodarte — the firm has operated continuously for more than 45 years and is currently led by second-generation owners JR Rodarte (CEO) and Jared Rodarte (President). It is a federally recognized Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE CERT # D5M0001685) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE CERT # M5M0001685) through the Washington State Office of Minority and Women's Business Enterprises, and serves a primarily public-sector client base across the Pacific Northwest.

The company delivers five interconnected service lines: transportation infrastructure (roadways, bridges, intersections, signalization), habitat improvement (floodplain and wetland restoration, engineered log jams, salmon habitat creation), pipe and utilities (large-diameter HDPE installation up to 30 inches for water, sewer, forcemain, and storm systems), earthwork and grading, and site preparation. Technical evidence is visible in completed projects such as the 180th St SE Phase 1 corridor ($7.8M), the Bangor Keyport forcemain replacement (30,100 linear feet of 24–30 inch HDPE), the Riverbend Levee Setback (reconnecting roughly 52 acres of floodplain), and the SR 164 Pussyfoot Creek fish-passable culvert work (9.3 miles of new salmon breeding habitat), which collectively demonstrate capacity to bundle heavy civil scopes with environmental mitigation on a single contract.

Rodarte operates a sales-led, bid-driven go-to-market: it pursues county, municipal, and federal public works contracts competitively and engages private developers for site preparation work, with pricing quoted per project and no publicly disclosed rates. Named customers in the input are exclusively government entities (King County Water and Land Resources Division, Snohomish County, City of Sumner, and a federal Bangor Keyport installation). Revenue is generated as one-time contract revenue rather than recurring subscriptions, with channel presence centered on a project portfolio website, direct contact for estimates, and industry recognition including the 2023 APWA Project of the Year award.
