Council to solicit bids for Opera House safety barriers and related repairs
Summary
Burleigh councilors discussed damage near the Opera House, preliminary cost estimates around $15,000, and directed staff to put required work out to bid and post plans at city hall.
Councilors discussed needed repairs and safety work near the Opera House Aug. 20 and agreed to put the project out to bid and then consider budget adjustments when bids return. Council member Troy (last name transcribed as Crackle) described a collision that damaged rock features near the Opera House and said the state provided specifications for setback and construction standards.
Council members and staff discussed initial ballpark estimates ranging from $12,000 to $15,000 depending on final design and a possibility of asking the state to pay a portion if the installation met their conditions. The council directed staff to advertise the project and make the plans available at city hall so contractors can review them before bidding.
The discussion also covered other state road safety requests, such as flashing lights at a school crossing and additional signage; council members urged continued follow-up with state highway staff to press for more support on safety measures.
Ending: Council did not approve additional funds at the meeting and will revisit the budget after bids are received.
