Item 8.U on May 28, 2024 proposed adding to the "current City Hall construction contract" drainage infrastructure from City Hall to the north side of 3rd Avenue along Grant Street, with earthwork and concrete paving. The item said adding the work let the general contractor finish it before City Hall opened and that "utilizing the existing CMAR contract has allowed the city to negotiate pricing effectively." The award was to Western Builders of Amarillo, Inc. for $4,967,536.00 from the Drainage Utility Fund, budgeted. [1]
