This agreement will be funded using account 340-4030-418.73-99 (CIP 071), which has a 2024 budget of $275,000.
This bid was subject to Local Preference but was not a factor as no local companies were within the required threshold for consideration.

The renovation of this parking lot, which includes the demolition of the building at 14 S. LaSalle, will provide necessary additional parking to accommodate the ongoing redevelopment of Downtown Aurora.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
