It's not perfect weather yet but with outdoor construction weather season coming, Clinton City officials are beginning to prepare for the planned Center Street project this summer.

Before dirt and ground are disrupted, the City of Clinton needs to send the project out for bid and City Administrator Tim Followell says that is the next step in the process, and that should be happening very soon.

Bids being higher or lower is hard to predict, especially now with the bid cycle coming in another month but Followell says residents need to hope for quote - "a hungry bid cycle." He says the project's completion deadline of Apple n' Pork weekend is aggressive and there are two factors that could help that along.

Followell says the bid cycles are the equivalent to the roll of a dice and quote - "you live with what you get."
