Council approves Canton Memorial Civic Center restroom and parking-lot project
Summary
The council unanimously adopted Ordinance 23 authorizing contracts and a design/oversight agreement (with Sole Harris Day Architecture Inc.) for the Canton Memorial Civic Center restroom and north parking lot expansion, with design/oversight capped at $77,152.
Canton City Council voted 10–0 to adopt Ordinance 23, authorizing the city to advertise, receive bids, award and enter into construction contracts for the Canton Memorial Civic Center Restroom and North Parking Lot Expansion Project and to enter a design and oversight contract with Sole Harris Day Architecture Inc.
The ordinance states the design and oversight agreement with Sole Harris Day Architecture Inc. is not to exceed $77,152 and authorizes the auditor to pay obligations related to contract change orders approved by the board of control. The measure was presented for third reading and declared an emergency before the council approved it by roll call.
Council members did not debate the project details at length during the meeting; the clerk summarized the scope and appropriation adjustment and the council approved the ordinance after Leader Mariel moved for adoption. The clerk noted the procurement will proceed "utilizing any procurement process authorized by law." The ordinance does not include a final construction contract award at this meeting; the action authorizes the city to solicit bids and enter contracts consistent with the ordinance language.
Next steps include advertising for bids, contracting for construction subject to procurement rules, and executing the design/oversight agreement. The meeting record did not include a construction timeline or an exact total project cost beyond the stated not-to-exceed design/oversight amount.
