PREVIOUS COUNCIL/COMMISSION/BOARD ACTION(S):
The Hawkeye Pond Improvements Project was originally bid in 2020. One bid was received at approximately 84% above the engineer's estimate. Given the lack of multiple bids and the bid's amount above the engineer's estimate, staff recommended and City Council rejected the bid results. The project has now been repackaged into three phases. Phase 1 is complete and Phase 2 is currently underway to install the fishing pier. Phase 3 will complete the project in its entirety.
