What this means

The board approved a series of construction and engineering payments tied to city projects. The largest action was a $252,712 deduction in a lead service line replacement contract because fewer homes needed rock-related work and quantities were updated. It also approved a $2,188,222.64 payment for that same project, along with smaller payments and contract amendments for the Thomas Street corridor investigation, the Riverfront Parking Lot, and asphalt patching. Bids for the City Hall and Fire Department concrete project were opened, but no award was made yet because the bids will be reviewed again due to multiple funding sources.
