Recommended Action
Approve Contract No. 2019-40 with Andrew Sitework, LLC. in the amount of $ 146,392 with a contingency amount of $ 7,320, for a total project cost of $ 153,712 for the water main replacement on the Cranberry Blvd. bridge over the Snover Waterway. This approval is contingent on the City Commission passing Ordinance 2019-03, non-district budget amendment.
