The lowest complete bid was received from _______________in the amount of $__________. The bid results are: Company Name (to come) Bid Amount (to come) $$$

Overall Cost:
City Funds: $45,000 in FY 2011-12 budget ($37,531.61 is available for construction as design and engineering, a site survey, and an archaeological report have incurred expenses of $7,468.39).

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Resolution awarding the bid.

Important Considerations: Both the Forest and Beach and Planning commissions approved the project design in March 2012.

Decision Record: This project was approved in the FY 2011-12 Capital Improvement
