Engineer: cemetery trees to be replaced; bridge project to be rebid after permitting
Summary
Engineer Brian Julius told the Velva City Commission the city will pay for and plant replacement trees for 68 trees removed during the initial bridge work and that the bridge project will be rebid after permitting is complete.
During the Feb. 18 Velva City Commission meeting, Brian Julius of Ackerman-Estvold Engineering reported on restoration and next steps related to recent infrastructure work. Julius said the city will pay for and plant replacement trees at the cemetery to make up for 68 trees removed during the initial bridge project.
Julius said he had spoken with Ryan Ackerman and that the bridge project will be rebid after all required permitting is completed. The report did not include a rebid schedule or construction timeline; Julius indicated permitting is the outstanding prerequisite.
The commission took no formal vote on the cemetery plantings or the bridge rebid during the meeting; the items were delivered as staff and engineer updates. Any contracting, bidding or planting schedule would follow required permitting approvals and the city’s procurement processes.
