City staff told the Board of Works that finalized construction documents for the city’s Public Safety Building are expected from Edgar Group this week and that the project will be advertised for bid later in the week. The board member said the advertisement will run this Friday, with a month allowed for bids to return and the board to open submissions “in a traditional manner” and select a firm, likely at the first meeting in September.

The board characterized this as part of the project timeline the city is “governing or working under.” No formal contract awards or firm selections for the Public Safety Building were made during the meeting; the update covered next procurement steps and scheduling for bid advertising and review.
