CALOGERO and BLANCHE, JJ.,
would grant the writ believing that the Public Bid Law prevents the parish from constructing the bridge in question when the cost exceeds the $30,000 limit provided for by LSA 38:2212 A(l). It is our further opinion that building a bridge to replace an old bridge is by its nature, a construction project and is not “maintaining ... public properties ...” so as to except the project from the Public Bid Law.
