City of Redwood Falls bridge restoration appropriation and bond issuance authorization

This bill authorizes the state to issue up to $1.3 million in bonds to fund the restoration of the historic 1938 Swayback Bridge in Redwood Falls. The funds will be provided as a grant to the city specifically for designing and executing repairs to the bridge's granite and masonry exterior, including stone replacement and tuckpointing. The legislation exempts this specific project from certain state laws regarding public works contracts and bidding processes. Additionally, it directs the commissioner of management and budget to sell the bonds and transfer the proceeds to the commissioner of transportation for distribution.
