The Altoona City Council on Sept. 2 approved an AIA amendment that establishes a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $11,483,093.27 for construction of Fire Station #26 in the city’s north industrial area.
City Engineer John Dostart said the recommended total "reflects the results of the bids received from the subcontractors on this job" and includes general conditions, DCI-purchased equipment, fees, markups and a contingency of $421,578.81.
