Council awarded a bid for $514,800 submitted by Majors Enterprises of Monroe for the first phase and two alternate bids for the Bicentennial Commons Park. City Manager Bill Brock said the work will be for the installation of utilities and electric. The bid was approved as an emergency measure so work can move forward.

It was the second time that bids had been submitted for this project as the last time, council rejected all bids as they were over the engineer’s estimate for the project.
