Lawrence council approves emergency rehabilitation contract for 81 Phillips Avenue
Summary
At a Dec. 30 special meeting, the Lawrence council authorized a contract to MJ Birch Construction LLC to rehabilitate 81 Phillips Avenue after describing the work as an emergency repair needed during very cold weather; the motion passed on a roll call.
The Lawrence council voted at a Dec. 30 special meeting to authorize MJ Birch Construction LLC to perform emergency rehabilitation work at 81 Phillips Avenue. A council member moved to accept the bid (A1 numbers 348/384) and a second was voiced before members discussed the urgency of repairs.
A council member who moved the motion said the work was part of the municipality’s rehabilitation plan and was pressed by an emergency need to complete repairs while temperatures were very cold so contractors could proceed. The motion was seconded; no members of the public spoke on the item.
The clerk called the roll. Mr. Bett, Mr. Kaki and M. Perry were recorded as voting "yes." The transcript records additional "yes" responses but does not name all speakers who answered in the affirmative. The record does not specify the contract amount or the exact scope beyond "rehabilitation of 81 Phillips Avenue."
Officials said the contract award allows the contractor to begin repairs promptly; no implementation timeline or budget line items were specified in the meeting record. The council took no other action on this agenda item at the session.
The council moved on to a separate resolution after the vote.
