Construction on a fire hall and city office facility in Beaver Creek is delayed because the council received no bids on the project, according to Beaver Creek Mayor Al Blank.
"We had some problems at the last meeting," he said. The council met on Tuesday, April 16.
Contractors were unhappy with building plans the city provided for the bidding process, according to Blank.
They were concerned bathrooms wouldnÕt pass handicap accessibility code requirements.
The council is currently interviewing architects to rework the plans.
"Hopefully, we'll get it bid again sometime in May," said Blank.
