Commissioners approve labor-only bid for Moafi (Milwaukee) bridge repair

Commissioners voted by voice to accept a labor-only bid for repair work on the Moafi (Milwaukee) bridge. A commissioner moved to accept the labor-only bid and a colleague seconded; the motion passed after a voice vote in which members responded "aye." The labor-only bid presented during the meeting was approximately $1,530, with staff noting materials would be purchased separately and could add an estimated $1,000–$1,500 depending on contractor ordering.

Public-works staff and commissioners discussed whether boards were treated and how contractors would handle ordering and fasteners; staff confirmed contractors would place the material orders and invoice the county. The motion covered labor only; commissioners agreed to pay for materials in addition to the labor contract. The work was placed on the county's old-business agenda item and will proceed under the accepted bid.
