ORANGE BEACH -- In preparation for an anticipated public unveiling of its specific plans to connect the Foley Beach Express to the Gulf-front via an elevated highway, the City Council on Tuesday approved an $80,000 contract with Figg Bridge Engineers to start designing the structure. Figg, a Florida-based engineering firm, is also employed by Orange Beach to design a bridge over Wolf Bay.
The contract approved Tuesday outlines Figg's responsibilities throughout the design process and construction, but the council only initiated the first part of the agreement, which calls on the company simply to gather data, develop conceptual plans and prepare graphics the city can use during presentations.
