BERLIN — The city of Berlin is looking to repurpose funds after bids for the city’s Riverwalk project came in significantly higher than estimates.
Interim City Manager Pam Laflamme told the council Monday the city received two bids on the project and both were a bit higher than expected due to fluctuations in the price of gas and other charges. The two bids were from Lee Corrigan and Ray’s Electric, with Ray’s Electric being the lowest bid.
