Council members to hear report on Woodworth Dam bids at tonight's City Council session



It has been one of the more significant of the infrastructure projects facing City Council in recent years, and tonight Council members will receive a report from City Manager Robert Long that will offer up a recommendation on who the City should select to go ahead with the Woodworth Dam construction project.

What will be a 16 million dollar plus project was put out for tender earlier this year and from that call for submissions three bids were received, with the City Manager set to recommend to Council that they select a proposal from Eiffage and CIC.



The plans for construction will be focused on a start in 2019, Council members will review the report at this evenings session, ask questions if they have any and then decide on the path ahead for one of the key elements of the city's water supply replacement planning.
