Commission approves request to solicit bids for beams for Alsbury Chapel Road bridge
Summary
Commission approved putting out bids for beams for an in-house Alsbury Chapel Road bridge project engineered by Smith and Company; commissioners said beams likely to arrive mid-February.
The St. Francois County Commission voted to approve a request to solicit bids for beams for the Alsbury Chapel Road bridge rehabilitation.
A county speaker described the bridge project as an in-house job with engineering by Smith and Company and said beams would probably arrive in mid-February. Commissioners discussed coordinating removal and delivery to avoid tearing the bridge out before beams arrive, and staff said they would put the request in the local paper and could contact suppliers individually as allowed.
A motion to approve the request to bid the beams for Alsbury Chapel Road was made and seconded; commissioners voted “aye.” One commissioner asked how many suppliers might bid; staff estimated about three.
The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
Officials emphasized coordination of timing for removal and delivery; one speaker said transporting the beams should be an “easy haul” if the beams are about 20 feet in length.
