Committee discusses Liberty Street capital project and plans to rebid after $400,000 infusion
Summary
Members reported that COSO approved the Liberty Street capital project and discussed an additional 400,000 infusion; the committee said it will rebid the work to try to reduce costs, and staff planned follow-up with the consultant.
Committee members reported progress on the Liberty Street capital project during the Aug. 7 finance committee meeting before the session was canceled for lack of a quorum. A committee member said COSO had "approved the whole thing for Liberty Street" and that an additional 400,000 had been "infused." The member said they would rebid the work, look for ways to lower costs and contact the consultant later that day to finalize arrangements.
"We've got another 400,000 infused," a committee member said, adding they might reallocate painting funds or reduce the start-time aggressiveness to manage costs. The member said they would call the consultant at about 2:15 p.m. to "get that all buttoned up." Chair Bob Trainer described the development as taking a load off the committee as they prepare to move the project forward.
No formal capital approvals or votes were recorded in the canceled meeting. Committee members indicated they would continue coordination with the consultant and revisit contracting decisions once the committee can meet with a quorum.
