CHENANGO COUNTY – The Chenango County Board of Supervisors voted to accept a bid of $136,820 for preventative maintenance on bridges, with the funds being paid through a combination of federal and nonfederal funds.

According to records from the Chenango County Board of Supervisors, three bids were received for the projects, but Rover Contracting, Inc., of Hopewell Junction, New York won the job with the lowest bid.

Records show that the maintenance will be done to bridges over Lyon Brook and Thompson Creeks in accordance with guidelines established with the New York State Department of Transportation. They also show that the project is federal and state-aid fundable, borne at the ratio of 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent non-federal funds.
