QUESTION: What is the estimated budget for this project?

ANSWER: The County does not currently have a set budget for this project; hence, the need for the cost estimation, scheduling and controls and the final construction cost and detailed cost schedule during the design phases. The County is open to all cost saving designs that still meet all required scope, laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.

QUESTION: Does the county have any information on the flow rate or elevation changes of the river at this location to determine what type of turn down is need to prevent scour?
