The project will also provide a more attractive southern entranceway to the City. Public Works solicited pricing from the contractors on the City's Small Construction Projects "Term Contract. Six (6) contractors responded with the low bid below the Engineer's estimate. Public Works recommends awarding the project to the low bidder, Barracuda.

Therefore, adoption of this Ordinance is final in its form and content. City Planner Rumer explained this is the Capital Improvement Program which this Commission approved during the budget process.
