Hopefully, Long Bridge work lasts longer than last time

So now the Long Bridge in Sandpoint has gotten a new surface just as it was done a few years ago. That surface didn’t even make it through the first winter before it started to peel off.

The contractor for that job was awarded the contract because they had the low bid. Hopefully this time the new surface will be better and last longer, but I doubt it because this contractor was awarded the contract because their bid was the lowest. In all of my years I’ve have decided that low bid means low quality workmanship. I hope this is not the case here. But what the hey, it’s just the taxpayers money anyway, so who really cares?
