Modest Creek Bridge bids return empty; town revises plan and seeks contractor help for foundations
Summary
Bids for the Modest Creek Bridge installation due June 1 received no offers. Town Manager said engineers will rework plans and Public Works Supervisor Kevin Ashworth is lining up a contractor to pour foundations so the town can set the bridge later.
Bids due June 1 for the Modest Creek Bridge installation returned with zero bidders, Town Manager Rodney Newton told the June 9 council meeting. Newton said he has asked the project engineer to rework aspects of the plan and is coordinating with Public Works Supervisor Kevin Ashworth to have a contractor pour the bridge foundations; the town would then take responsibility for setting the bridge superstructure.
No financial figures for revised scope or contractor arrangements were recorded in the minutes; Newton framed the change as a strategy to make the project feasible after a failed public-bid process. Council recorded the update as informational and did not take a separate formal vote beyond acknowledging the report.
