Tahoe City boat ramp repairs delayed

The Lake Forest boat ramp replacement project keeps getting more expensive and longer to complete.

When Tahoe City Public Utility District went out to bid on the project in February 2014 it was supposed to cost a little more a half million dollars and be finished in December that year.

Now the price tag is more than $1 million and sometime in May is when what is usually a year-round ramp will reopen.

The latest problem is that precast concrete panels don’t meet TCPUD or state specifications. Those are now being replaced.
