Board to solicit bids for foundation repairs on failing foot bridges
Summary
The Park Board authorized staff to solicit bids to repair failing foot bridges north of the veneer mills, with an initial budget of about $50,000 to address erosion and foundation work.
The Jasper Park Board authorized staff to solicit bids to repair several foot bridges that have deteriorated near the veneer mills.
Staff said the bridges are failing and that past access for equipment is no longer possible; the FY budget includes about $50,000 for foundation repair and replacement work. The board asked staff to work with public works (Chad referenced) to determine excavation and shoring needs and to return with quotes; a motion authorizing solicitation of bids passed by voice vote.
Board members noted uncertainty about how many bridges can be repaired within the current budget and asked staff to refine quotes before work begins.
Next steps: staff will solicit bids, obtain technical assessments of needed shoring/excavation, and report back with firm cost estimates.
