County says project will be bid this fall, construction expected spring 2027
Summary
Staff told residents the county plans to advertise and bid the project in the fall, with construction anticipated to start in spring 2027 pending County Council approvals and normal contracting timelines; pavement work is not scheduled during winter months.
John Shrewsbury and Betty Tes Fu told attendees the county aims to advertise and bid the pilot package in the fall, with work beginning the following spring. "The construction, we anticipate to begin in the spring of 20 27," Shrewsbury said, and staff noted bids must be approved by the St. Louis County Council and that typical procurement and approval timelines can take several weeks.
Staff also said construction is avoided during winter months because cold temperatures, rain and ice interfere with paving and striping. They described the next steps: finalize the candidate list, prepare the letting package for bidders, accept bids, select a low bidder and execute a contract—standard county procurement steps before any work begins.
