THE MEADOWOOD LANE CULVERT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT  
WITH THE LOWEST AND BEST BIDDER.  
Brief Description: This project involves replacing two (2) existing culverts

causing overland flooding of shared use driveway, restricting emergency  
vehicle access. The project includes installation of larger culverts and concrete  
driveway replacement.
