Summary
The City of Winchester approved a $415,739.98 contract with H And B Construction to remove the Jackson Street bridge and relocate waterlines; officials said two waterlines are involved and they are awaiting state funding.
The Winchester City Commission approved a $415,739.98 bid from H And B Construction for Jackson Street bridge removal and associated waterline relocation.
The motion to accept the bid was made by Commissioner Shannon Cox and seconded by Commissioner Hannah Toole. The commission approved the contract by voice vote.
During discussion, commissioners and staff said the winning bid was substantially lower than some others received.

Staff said the city is awaiting word from Frankfort on a potential $500,000 funding allocation that would cover related project costs; officials also indicated a February meeting with the contractor to schedule work. No contract start date was specified in the meeting minutes recorded in the transcript.
The commission recorded no amendments to the contract during the meeting and approved the bid as submitted.
