He stated that if support beams were installed under the span, the structure should be safe enough for light traffic and that he might then withdraw his disclaimer. The bridge remained open through the week without any of the suggested repair work having been performed. City workers and County Road master Doc Sherer inspected the site last week to determine how the temporary bracing work would be made, and what materials and tools would be needed. "I'm not panicked that it (the bridge) is still open," said Anderson. "...It's just that it's in a lot worse shape now than it was several months ago."

Late in June, bids were opened for building a new Morgan Street Bridge. The low bid was more than 28 per cent higher than the $105,000 estimate. Since the bidding exceeded cost estimates by such a large margin, the city decided to re-bid the structure. Last Friday, the latest bids were opened, with F. Hodgson Construction of North Powder submitting the low bid of $118.800 13.9 per cent over the estimate, but significantly lower than the $134,500 low bid submitted in June.

Under the original $105,000 estimate for the new bridge, the city expected to pay about $18,000. The difference in costs would be picked up by state and federal matching funds. Bidding has been unusually high on the project mainly "because of a surplus of work that contractors are now having," said Anderson. When crews and equipment are busy, he explained, contrac tors are less likely to lower profit margins and become more competitive.
