Linn County Communications Officer
Four bids for the Cedar Creek Pedestrian Bridge Project in Mill City were opened at Tuesday’s meeting of the Linn County Board of Commissioners.
Bids were submitted by: Farline Bridge, Stayton, $205,225; Legacy Contractors, Stayton, $228,856.50; Oregon State Bridge Construction, Stayton, $394,070.50; Cascade Civil Corp, Redmond, $402,374.
Tuesday’s bids will be evaluated to ensure they meet county requirements and brought back to the commissioners with an award recommendation at next Tuesday’s board meeting.
The project will replace a small timber pedestrian bridge that was burned in the September 2020 wildfire. The original bridge was constructed to carry railroad traffic and was converted to a pedestrian bridge after the rail line was closed.
