Summary

Council approved a budgeted contract with Mashburn Construction Company, Inc. for $388,825 (including contingency) to outfit Building 197 in Buckwalter; motion passed by voice vote at the workshop and no public comment was filed.

At the same workshop, staff asked the council to authorize a construction contract with Mashburn Construction Company, Inc. to finish suites in the town's Economic Development building near the LAC in Buckwalter. "This will approve the contract to finish out those suites," Chris Forrester said, and he confirmed the work is within the current fiscal-year budget.

Forrester said the base quote was $324,021 and staff added a standard 20% contingency, producing a total fiscal impact of $388,825. He told the council the related leases for the suites will come to the main council meeting for approval.

A council member moved to approve the contract and a second was made; the council approved the contract by voice vote. The transcript records the voice 'aye' but does not include a roll-call tally or named votes. Chair asked for public comment; none was filed. The council then closed the workshop and adjourned.

The action authorizes staff to execute the Mashburn Construction contract so work on the suites can begin; lease approvals for tenants will be handled separately at a later council meeting.
