Resolution Requesting Transfer of Funds from a Capital Project to an Operational Account and Request Permission to Solicit Bids and Award Within Operational Budget Threshold for the Main Street Cat Alley Ph 2 Project
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much) WAS Design completed the plans and specifications for the Main Street Cat Alley Ph 2 Project located along North Alston Street. Currently, there is $120,000 in the capital budget; however, WAS Design's estimate is below the $100,000 threshold.
