Public Works Director Jared Halter presented the bid tabulation for the 7th Avenue/Wall Street reconstruction project and recommended awarding the contract to McCabe Construction for $988,563.70; councilors noted the tabulation was provided at the meeting. A motion to award the contract to McCabe Construction was made and passed unanimously.
Councilors asked for clarification of the budgeted amount for the project during discussion; the precise capital improvement budget figure as read aloud in the meeting record was unclear and is therefore reported as not specified in the transcript. No member recorded a dissenting vote on the listed motions.
