Commission rejects bid for N. Evans dam repairs
The Lenawee County Drain Commission will be searching locally for contractors to begin repair work on the Red Mill Pond dam after rejecting the single bid received from Schaedler Enterprises of Toledo, said Lenawee County Drain Commissioner Stephen May. Their bid was more than $600,000, double an engineer’s estimate of $315,000. Six contractors took out project plans, but the lone bid was the only one received. May suggested they may have not had the time for such a project. “We’re happy to have a couple local contractors to do the work,” said May. The drawdown of the pond is still slated to happen October 1. This will allow contractors to inspect the damn before it is refilled again starting June 1, 2015, which is the soonest it can be refilled according to state law, said May. This has been the timeline all along.May said he hoped that work could begin on making the dam’s main gate operational in the next 30 to 45 days. He also said that there was other repair work on safety issues like a catwalk, fencing and concrete repairs that could be completed while the commission looks for local contractors. If contractors cannot be found before winter, May said that they would hope to begin work promptly in the spring.
