Summary

Public works staff reported a routine inspection found a tree growing from a bridge wall; an emergency contract was awarded to a local contractor (packet lists $13,040) and work was completed June 25; council ratified the emergency repair.

Public works staff described a routine inspection of a bridge near the Public Works building that found a tree growing out of a bridge wall. Because Public Works did not have personnel and resources to perform the work, staff solicited a local contractor; a bid of $13,040 was accepted as fair and reasonable, the contractor completed the work on June 25, and a follow-up inspection found the work satisfactory.

Council ratified the emergency contract via resolution 26-63 to close the project. The presenter said before-and-after photos were included in the packet. No further funding or disputes were recorded on the floor.
