A $5.6 million project to restore the crumbling North Bluff coastal bank is set to come before the Martha’s Vineyard Commission.

The Martha’s Vineyard Commission will decide whether to review a long-planned project to repair the deteriorating North Bluff coastal bank after the Oak Bluffs planning board referred the project to the regional planning and regulatory agency.

Oak Bluffs selectmen reversed a decision made two weeks earlier and voted unanimously to reject all bids to restore the failing North Bluff coastal bank and seawall after a protest from one of the companies which bid on the project.

Oak Bluffs selectmen accepted a bid of $5.2 million to repair the crumbling seawall on the North Bluff and build a walkway to connect the Steamship Authority terminal to Oak Bluffs harbor. Construction is expected to begin in December.

Oak Bluffs received a $3.6 million grant on Monday to help repair the North Bluff. The money brings the total to $7.5 million in outside funding for the town.
