DALE HOGG Great Bend Tribune Paving bids for the new stretch of Eighth Street between Grant and McKinley were again the Great Bend City Council agenda Monday night. Shown is an eastward view of where the street will be.
Take two. The Great Bend City Council again took up bids for the installation the new stretch of Eighth Street between Grant and McKinley Monday night. This was a sequel a heated Aug. 6 meeting when two of the bidders verbally sparred, bid specs were questioned and ended in the council tossing out all the bids and starting from scratch. Josh Golka, the city’s on-call engineer from Professional Engineering Consultants of Wichita, Monday night again recommended Venture Corporation of Great Bend. Although there were no fireworks from the crowd, it was a divided council that approved Venture’s proposal.
