The Village of Northport is accepting sealed bids for the Rose Street Culvert Replacement Project at the intersection of Rose Street and Second Street. The village has posted bid forms, bid schedules, instructions, construction plans, and an invitation to bid. Culvert projects can look small, but they affect drainage, road reliability, construction disruption, future maintenance, and stormwater resilience. This is the kind of local infrastructure people only notice when it fails. The village should choose a bid that solves the problem for the long term.
