The Bureau of Indian Affairs today announced the award of a $161,960 contract for road improvement on the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon. The reservation was among those hard-hit by floods in 1965 which washed away several accesses to Indian communities.
The contract calls for construction of a 135-foot bridge over the Warm Springs River, replacing an unsafe suspension span that has been condemned for heavy equipment. The work will also include grading and crushed rock surfacing of a four and one-half mile stretch of the lower Warm Springs River-Webster Road, about 12 miles northeast of the town of Warm Springs, Oregon.
When completed, the project will provide an all-weather road along the River, serving both reservation residents and the visitors to reservation recreational facilities.
Sixteen bids were received, ranging up to $244,355. The low and successful bidder was W. &W. Construction Company of Stayton, Oregon.
