# Faribault County Plans 2027 Bridge Replacements

Faribault County says it plans to replace three bridges in 2027: one west of Kiester on CSAH 2 and two in Clark and Pilot Grove townships. The county has not provided construction values or solicitation details. Separately, a proposed 2027 economic development services agreement with Community and Economic Development Associates (CEDA), valued at $96,121, remains pending review of the full county budget; the current-year agreement is $92,423.

- Construction firms can use the bridge plans as an early indicator of potential county work, but no bid schedule, contract value, or solicitation is identified yet.
- The proposed CEDA agreement is not yet approved. Its proposed term is January 1–December 31, 2027, and the decision is deferred pending budget review.
- Contractors and service providers should distinguish planned work and proposed renewals from awarded opportunities; the signal does not identify an open procurement or submission deadline.
