At their meeting on Tuesday, the Lake County Board of Supervisors unanimously waived the formal bidding process and awarded the contract for the Clover creek Bypass Gravel Removal Project to Peterson Brustad, Inc. Brustad had already participated in the Middle Creek Flood Control Feasibility Study, which covers the Middle Creek and Clover Creek Diversion levees, diversion structure and the Old Clover Creek closure structure in Flood Zone 8. The bypass of the bid process was ok’d after examination proved there would be no economic benefit to putting out a call for bids. Laying out the scope of the project is next, along with application for funding through grants and an environmental review.
