DuBois council authorizes advertising bids for two bridge repairs estimated at $200,000–$250,000
Summary
After staff reported 2023 inspections found significant deficiencies, council authorized advertising bids for repairs to two bridges (West Long Avenue and Fourth Street) and will seek PennDOT funding or use liquid fuels funds if necessary; cost estimate $200,000–$250,000.
The DuBois City Council authorized staff to advertise bids for reconstruction of two bridges — one over Fourth Street and one over West Long Avenue — after staff described deficiencies identified in a 2023 inspection.
Staff said the city will seek funding from PennDOT and other sources; if those funds are not available, the project would draw on the city's liquid fuels monies. Staff estimated the repairs would cost between $200,000 and $250,000.
Council voted to advertise for bids and directed staff to pursue external funding while preparing bid documents. No contract awards were considered at the meeting; the advertisement will allow the city to solicit proposals.
