Franklin county tables bid award for revetment project

County commissioners decided not to accept any bids on a project to repair about 1000 feet of revetment at Alligator Point because the issue is under litigation.

The section of revetment is east of Tom Roberts Road – its an elevated section of road that can’t be relocated.

The county wants to remove the existing concrete rubble and debris and replace it with clean granite rock.

The board opened bids from 4 companies for the project earlier this month, the lowest bid was from CW Roberts at about 74 thousand dollars.

The work, however, is being contested by Capitol city bank.

So even if the county awarded the bid, it’s likely the work could not be done in the 60 days during which the bid would be valid.

The board decided to table the issue this week while the legal issues are worked out.
