County sets March 9 bid opening for 335th Street bridge replacement
Summary
Buchanan County authorized advertisement and March 9 bid opening for replacing the 335th Street bridge using three rail-car superstructures; staff noted the bridge has washed out twice and traffic counts are low (about 40 vehicles).
County staff presented plans to replace the timber-deck beam bridge on 335th Street with a wider, longer superstructure assembled from three rail cars and requested the board set a bid schedule.
A staff member proposed a four-week advertisement period with bids due March 9 and an opening at 9:15 a.m.; the board approved that schedule. The presentation noted the bridge has washed out twice during the current official's tenure and that recent traffic counts are around 40 vehicles per day; staff proposed construction to begin in early to mid-June pending procurement.
The board directed Public Works to publish the bid notice and return with tabulated bids for a formal award decision.
