Trout Unlimited riparian planting rebid after contractor estimate comes in high
Summary
The board heard that Trout Unlimited’s contractor returned an unexpectedly high estimate and is rebidding the riparian planting project; members noted a year-end deadline unless an extension is obtained.
Chair told the board that a contractor estimate for a riparian planting organized through Trout Unlimited came in significantly higher than anticipated, prompting Trout Unlimited to rebid or reassess bids.
"The last email I had from Ryan was that the estimate from their contractor came in, significantly higher than they had anticipated," the chair said, adding that the work was on a timeline that likely requires completion by the end of the year unless an extension is secured. Board members agreed to monitor the bidding status and any requested extensions so the planting can proceed with an approved budget or grant support.
The board flagged that higher-than-expected contractor bids could affect whether the project proceeds this year, and noted that any late changes may require adjusted planting scopes or seeking additional funding.
