Resolution to Award a Construction Contract to Barrett Paving Materials, Inc. (ITB. 4269, $3,583,944.55) for the 2013 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 $3,583,944.55 for the 2013 Street Resurfacing Project.
