City Partners briefs court on energy contract start and clock tower RFPs

Lawrence Johnson of City Partners told the court the energy‑savings contract (GPSC) work is scheduled to begin next week and that the firm has narrowed clock‑tower restoration work to three specialty contractors. Johnson said RFPs and drawings developed by the architect have been issued to obtain 85–90% pricing and that the consultants and staff expect to return to the court in a future work session (likely October) with detailed pricing and a proposed contract timeline.
