Van Houten's bid of $112,882.94 was the lowest of eight received. The others ranged from $115,985.94 to $168,140.82.
The project is part of a larger plan to provide all-weather transportation for a distance of about 43 miles across the reservation from the Subagency headquarters to the extreme northwest corner. Five miles of this road from the Subagency has already been improved to a standard that will meet the traffic needs.
