1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify and increase an existing contract with Complete General Construction for the Glick Road Bridge Repairs project in an amount up to $80,000.00.
Ordinance 1054-2017 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract with Complete General Construction for the construction of the Glick Road Bridge Repairs project and to provide for construction administration and inspection services.
