decrepit Morgan Street
Bridge over Willow Creek will

fact that city engineer Steve

span open to traffic in light of
the bridge's present condition.

street bridge bids
during last Wednesday's spe
cial council meeting. 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."

Anderson said that if city
workers placed posts under
the middle of the span, "it
would double its strength."
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.

$15,000 by rebidding," com

Should the city council vole
to accept the contract, the
city's share of the project
would be about $30,000. 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.
Mayor Jerry Sweeny said he
would instruct Anderson to
