The city approved Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Amendment No. 3 with McGough (Magoff) for $17,550,000, completing the construction contract series for the City Hall renovation; staff said bids came in about $200,000 under projected budget and included $700,000 of preferred alternates.

The Moorhead City Council approved the third and final guaranteed maximum price amendment for the City Hall renovation project, authorizing GMP 3 at $17,550,000, construction representatives said.
