Resolution to Award a Construction Contract to Barrett Paving Materials, Inc. (Bid No. 4139, $3,710,952.75) for the 2011 Street Resurfacing Project
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to award a construction contract to Barrett Paving Materials, Inc. in the amount of $3,710,952.75 for the 2011 Street Resurfacing Project.

If the funds are depleted prior to the completion of all the streets listed on the attachments, the construction contract will be terminated and the balance of the streets will be deferred to a future Resurfacing Project.
