The Port of Hood River Commission reached consensus to revise draft rules on potential public-private partnerships for a new Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge to not allow consideration of unsolicited proposals.  The move follows advice the Commission received from experts in a recent worksession to not take proposals until late in or after the environmental impact statement process.  Port Executive Director Michael McElwee says Oregon Department of Transportation rules show if you receive an unsolicited proposal, you immediately have to go to a request for proposals.  Port staff will revise the draft to present to the Commission at their next meeting in two weeks, and then the draft would be post it on the Port’s website and prepare for a public hearings process, with planned adoption of the rules in early May.
