City Public Works Director Ron Seabrat told the Board Oct. 7 that staff seeks approval of a work order with Hill and Cox Corporation to complete the remodel of 900 Whittington Avenue.

Seabrat said design and contractor estimates put the project construction cost at about $1,031,341; staff added a $250,000 contingency for unexpected conditions, producing a not‑to‑exceed amount of $1,751,341. Seabrat told the Board the contract, plans and work order are provided in the packet and that the project includes a paved parking lot and new entryways; some work will be performed in‑house.

Board members asked whether the work order completes the entire 900 Whittington project; Seabrat confirmed this work order will finish the project. The item is on the consent agenda for the regular meeting and staff requested the Board's formal approval at that time.
