The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted Wednesday, Jan. 6, to reject all three bids for Verde Connect, ending hopes for the road project after two years of numerous public hearings and environmental assessments.
In December 2018, Yavapai County was awarded a $25 million Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to build a bridge over the Verde River to construct a road connecting State Route 260 with Cornville Road.
The motion to reject the bids also paid the contractors who had put in bids $98,500 each for the cost of developing and submitting bids. The project could be brought back by the board of supervisors in the future, but will remain dead unless they decide to do so.
