GREEN RIVER — The Green River City Council will consider rejecting a bid for riverbank armoring at Riverside Memorial Park due to the bid exceeding available funds for the project.

The portion of the Riverside Memorial Park Enhancement Project that consists of riverbank armoring went out for rebid on Sept. 12, and resulted in just one bid. DeBernardi Construction Company, Inc. made a bid for the project in the amount of $1,072,000, which meeting documents state exceeds the available funds.

According to the meeting documents, the city’s engineering division will work with the project’s funding partners to identify an alternative project delivery method.
