Contract Award: (Construction) Development Services Department (DSD) Parking Lot
SUMMARY:
An ordinance for the Development Services Department Parking Lot project awarding a construction contract, including one additive alternate, to D. Plata Construction Co., LLC, in the amount of $515,868.15, a Development Services Enterprise-funded Project located in Council District 1.

The property located at 1920 S. Alamo was determined to be the most desirable due to its size and location.
This Project will provide up to 80 overflow parking spaces for use by City employees in order to allow sufficient parking for patrons visiting the Cliff Morton Development and Business Services Center (One Stop) at 1901 S.
