Department Recommendation:
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to approve contract change order number 1 and 2 for construction of the Downtown Streetlight Project in an amount totaling $242,706.45 and Contract Change Order number 1 for the construction of the Downtown Pavement Rehab Project in the amount of $248,959.18.
