Plaza contract

It seems that the construction contract to once again rebuild San Jacinto plaza is going to be back on the city council agenda this Tuesday.

A closer look at the plaza deal explained the situation at the time.

City staff pulled the bid award off the agenda at the last minute.

Now it appears that the item is back on the agenda for approval.

Something is going on here and watching council’s actions will tell us a lot.

I still wonder why 30 bidders picked up the bid package and only 3 responded.

We deserve better

    Can someone please explain to me why the new redesign of the plaza includes a full service café? This makes no sense given the fact that the city has been touting the growth in new restaurants in the downtown area. The city is now either directly or indirectly competing with other restaurant operators who are investing in downtown. It is even more absurd if the city plans to operate it. How much did the café add to the total cost of design and construction?
