City Engineer Gus Psihoyos is recommending acceptance of the construction contract
for the Stoltz Street Retaining Wall Repair Project, as completed by W.C. Stewart, in the
final contract amount of $29,100, which was 6.6% over the bid amount. The increase
cost was due to additional costs to construct a berm along Stoltz Street to protect the
wall from future rain events and flooding.
