Award of a $33,014.25 bridge and flood-control construction project on the Hoopa Indian Reservation, Humboldt County, California, was announced today by the Department of the Interior.
The project, on the main route to Hoopa Agency, involves the construction of a continuous slab bridge on existing substructures, and protecting levees which will include roadway approaches to the bridge and the developed areas inundated by the floods of the winter of 1955-56. The road is on a school bus route and serves a substantial number of the reservation population.
The construction work is part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs' program for the improvement of Indian roads to standards acceptable for incorporation into county road systems. Upon completion of the construction of the Hoopa Agency Loop Road this structure will become a county bridge. The structure will be located on Supply Creek near the old Agency Hospital.
Successful bidders were W. H. Lindeman & Sons, Inc., of Red Bluff, California. Three other bids were received ranging from $38,364.75 to $39,996.50.
