Committee authorizes staff-level award for Light Memorial Park pavilion if bids are within budget
Summary
The committee authorized staff to award the Light Memorial Park pavilion contract at staff level, contingent on bids being within budgeted amounts, to keep the construction schedule moving.
The Improvement Services Committee on July 30 approved a Department of Public Works request to award the Light Memorial Park pavilion contract at the staff level if bids are within the budgeted amounts.
Staff said the request is similar to earlier delegations: with the construction season underway, the department wants authority to order the work quickly and avoid delays while waiting for committee scheduling. The committee moved and seconded the request and approved it by voice vote. The motion conditions the delegation on bids being within the project’s budget; if bids exceed budgeted amounts staff will not execute an award without further council consideration.
No contractor was named at the meeting; awards will be reported to the committee following any staff-level execution. The action is procedural and intended to maintain project timelines.
