The Washington City Council discussed the 12th Avenue Signal project at their Tuesday meeting. City Administrator Joe Gaa had this update for the council, “I have some news, and it’s not great news, but not the worst news. We’ve been working on this project for quite a while and we have Veenstra and Kimm working on it. When it’s a DOT project, there is a lot of back and forth, and every little thing takes more time and everybody has got to look at it. We thought we were ready to go, this afternoon I received a frantic call from our engineer saying someone at the DOT didn’t get to look at it that needs to, and they have some things that need to be fixed. They are wanting to push this back. What I would ask tonight is that you would table it until the next meeting. That would mean that it would bid through the Christmas Holiday, we would open bids, get the contracts out right after the first of the year.” The delay in the project means that the original plan of having bids for the project by December 12th will be pushed to a later date. Originally the public hearing to accept a bid was set for December 17th.
