The Town of Cathlamet opened its second round of bids for remodeling the old town hall and library building Monday and found them well over their architect's estimate for the work.
Pacific Tech Construction was the lower of the two bids at $369,957. Five Rivers Construction came in at $495,902.
The estimate of the town's architect was $260,000, including contingency funds.
Mayor George Wehrfritz and Council Member Dick Swart were present and said they would bring the bids to the full council, which meets next Monday, for further discussion.
One contractor responded the first time the town called for bids and offered to do the job for $550,000. The council rejected the bid, and the architects met with contractors to go over the project and reduce its scope for the second call for bids.
