Public Works and Engineering Services
The Public Works and Engineering Services Committee will consider the rejection of a bid for the Pollard House renovation.
“Bids were received for the Pollard House Renovation on October 30, 2025, with multiple bids received. The lowest bid was SD Clifton Construction in the amount of $3,392,281.00 with an alternate of $207,718.00 to bring the total bid number to $3,599,999.00.
