I have made a public information request for the city's bid package and any amendments related to the Casino building shoring project - plus all 10 or so responses to the RFP package.
At the end of the City Commission meeting, the City Manager reported that there were 10 respondents and that all came in over the estimate. There were no comments from the Mayor and Commissioners. I am not surprised, but am interested in seeing the results myself. It's an indication of the uncertainties involved with a building such as this one and is a forecast of the over-runs and change orders if rehabilitation of the building is pursued.
There is supposed to be a meeting next Tuesday to discuss the beach in detail. No announcement is available on the website and it might be one of those sneaky 2:30 p.m. meetings.
Note: The latest audio of a Commission meeting available on the city's website is June 9th. The latest set of minutes available is from early April.
