Gunter staff report low March call volumes, bridge repairs and a $94,000 low bid for Autry street work
Summary
Fire/rescue staff reported 19 calls in March and 17 inspections; public-works staff updated the council on bridge repairs, an Autry bid near the expected cost (~$94,000) and alternatives that could lower costs if concrete is peeled back.
Fire-rescue staff reported routine public-safety metrics: 17 inspections in March and an unusually low volume of 19 calls for the month. The speaker noted a typical split of 50–70 percent EMS versus fire calls and said staff will try to provide timelier data in future meeting materials.
Public-works staff gave an update on bridge repairs (Wolf Ridge Run and others) and said a bid opening for Autry produced a low bid of approximately $94,000 (engineer verification pending), in line with a probable cost estimate of about $98,000. Staff said they will peel back concrete to better determine the scope and that, in one alternative, flowable fill could address a section for around $24,000 instead of full reconstruction.
