PALMYRA, Mo. — Three Marion County bridges are in need of attention, according to the latest Missouri Department of Transportation bridge inspection report.
The commissionersâ action took place on April 26 at the courthouse in Palmyra.
Two bids were received and opened by the county during its April 19 meeting. No action was taken at the time until Mike Schaefer, the county highway departmentâs superintendent, had the opportunity to review the bids submitted by Altofer Caterpillar and Martin Equipment.
On April 26 Schaefer reported that Altofer did not follow the bid specs. Consequently Schaefer recommended that Martinâs bid of $930,000 be accepted. The commissioners followed Schaeferâs recommendation and accepted the bid.
The commissioners asked Schaefer to seek bids for the financing of the new graders.
