Award of a $35,438 contract for the construction of two bridges on the Menominee Indian Reservation, Shawano County, Wisconsin, was announced today by the Department of the Interior.
The project involves the construction of an 80-foot composite steel I-beam bridge over the Wolf River and an identical structure over the West Branch of the Wolf River. The road which crosses both of these bridges is a school bus route which serves the residents of the West Branch Indian community. The construction of these two bridges will also provide an important route for the hauling of timber products since the two bridges which are being replaced were too light for this type of traffic.
The successful low bidder is Dey's Ready Mix Concrete Company, Shawano, Wisconsin. Seven other bids were received ranging from $42,373.50 to $67,692.50.
