Del Rio City Council members on Tuesday voted to go out for bids on a project to rehabilitate footbridges and a portion of the walkway along the San Felipe Creek.
The city council voted unanimously to approve a resolution authorizing City Manager Matt Wojnowski to advertise for bids for the San Felipe Creek footbridges and bank improvement project. The proposed cost of the project will be more specific once bids are received, the city manager said, noting the city will pay for the construction from previously obtained certificates of obligation (COs).
The council on Tuesday also took action on the following:
