Without a performance bond, here is what will happen……………..they will get into removing the jamb.
Then they will find that there are not enough suitable logs to fulfil the $2 million dollar contract they claim to have.
The logjam contractor will then stop the work and walk away early on before they rack up job expenses.

If it were not for the magnitude of this jam, locals would have cut it out long ago.

If I had a $1.00 dollar bill for every log that has been dragged from these local rivers and creeks, without permits, in the last forty years.

Red tape was not meant to be cut through, it is best circumvented, when circumstance permits.

$70k is a steal for that job. We cut and pulled logs out of that jam several years just to get to Posten’s bend from Cotton lake. Still think it woulda been cheaper to let the F-15’s from Eglin clean up that mess. Glad to hear it.

First, so what if its been 2 years. Is it causing anyone loss of liberty that the log jam hasnt already been doing for years anyway ? Second, i think saving half a million dollars is great. Maybe, just maybe, the county can use that saved money to upgrade boat ramps and recreation along the river.
This company has given a bare bones bid for what it “thinks”, cost will be, but if you’ve ever seen the mass of this jam, you’d agree their in for a surprise. One little problem could cost big money. Not to mention how dangerous it is. Besides, their taking a huge risk by doing the work up front for possible profit later. As someone who provides my family with many meals from this river, I AM GRATEFUL. Merry Christmas.
