Item 12B on the March 12, 2013 city council agenda proposes to authorize another $2 million for the remodeling of our new city hall.
We will add this to the running total.
As usual the city wants to do this without bidding. They plan to use another job order contract.
You can use the search feature on this page to look for other articles about this. A new slant to an old “profession” gave us details about this particular contract.
Recent activity shows the city awarding $4 million dollars to this firm last November. Another $3 million was awarded to two other firms in January. Now they want another $2 million.
That is $9 million since November that could have been competitively bid to local contractors but instead will go to city favorites.
At this rate of spending the relocation project is spending almost as much money on construction as it is on building demolition. Build, tear down. Build, tear down. Or is it tear down, build? Either way it is a waste of our money.
We deserve better
