The City opened bids for the Glenwood & Rollingwood Drainage Improvements funded by an EPA STAG grant. Bids range from about $872,000 to just over $1 million and have been taken under advisement with no contractor selected yet. Civil contractors, engineers, and materials suppliers still have a window to influence scope, value‑engineering, or partner with likely primes before award.

For the Sherman Drive box culvert project (LSVP‑53(18), PE# 7169), the County Engineer reported that rights‑of‑way and fees have been secured and requested authorization to advertise for construction bids, contingent on receiving a right‑of‑way certificate from the Board Attorney and State Aid authorization. The Board unanimously approved this contingent advertisement, setting up a near‑term bid opportunity once paperwork clears. Similarly, for the Sun Creek Road bridge project (SABP‑53(04), PE# 7414), final plans have been submitted to State Aid, and the Board authorized advertising for bids contingent upon final State Aid approval, with an estimated structure cost well over $1 million due to inflation.

Both projects are State Aid‑linked; contractors should be prepared for State Aid specifications and ...

The board approved opening a second $500,000 non‑interest‑bearing checking account at Home Bank for a state appropriation to replace the Canal Street Bridge. This sets aside funding for bridge replacement but does not yet detail engineering or construction procurement. Bridge engineers, structural consultants, and contractors should track this project as planning advances toward design and build solicitations.

Canal Street Bridge replacement is in early funding setup; design and construction partners not iden...
