Allen-Johnson bridge slated for federal-local funding; bid awarded to Hebert Construction
Summary
The Road Commission said the Allen-Johnson bridge was successfully bid and will be awarded to Hebert Construction with an apparent contract amount of $1,360,000; the commission noted a 5% local match requirement for one federal bridge grant program.
During project updates, Director (Speaker 2) told the board the Allen-Johnson bridge project had been through the bidding process and that Hebert Construction from Iron America was set to receive the contract. He stated the apparent bid amount as "$1,360,000."
The director explained the bridge funding context: the federal-local bridge program accepts applications by April 1 and, when successful, may require only a small local match in some instances (he noted a 5% match for one recent award). The board discussed prioritization for bridge-program applications and the state historic-preservation steps needed for larger replacements before construction can proceed.
