MOTION BY ALDERMAN DOWD FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-21-128, BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd
Just for clarification, this has been an ongoing project that was approved previously for all this funding but after the final
engineering and because of COVID delays, they received four bids. One backed out. Three bids were considered. The
lower bidder which has qualifications within the City were selected to do the work and of course the price went up
because construction prices are going up right now. This is vital to the Police Department and the atmosphere within the
building. A lot of the work has been done. This will allow them to complete it and there’s an urgency to get it passed
because the pricing is only good until | believe early May. They still have to go through Finance. | recommend final
passage.
