Resolution to Approve a Contract with Best Asphalt to Renovate Pathways at Cranbrook and Wurster Parks ($114,821.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a $114,821.00 contract with Best Asphalt to renovate pathways at Cranbrook and Wurster Parks.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding is available in the approved FY2018 Park Maintenance and Capital Improvement Millage budget ($68,303.00) and the approved FY2018 Parks Memorials & Contributions Fund ($58,000.00).
