Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - It appears a planned major street project in downtown Rochester will be delayed at least one year.
Construction of the planned Discovery Walk project was scheduled to begin this summer and continue into 2023. But like other large and small projects that have gone to bid during the pandemic era, planners had to backtrack due to an “unpredictable bidding environment.”
The Destination Medical Center Corporation Board of Directors was briefed on the situation at its Thursday meeting.
The board was told:
“There seems to be a lack of capacity by contractors, resulting in seeing only one or two bid submissions for major projects. Current prices on labor and materials are currently extremely volatile creating unpredictability within budget estimates.”
