Hail-damage roof repairs at six city buildings
Summary
The city is spending up to $383,130 of insurance proceeds, sales tax and state funds to fix wind- and hail-damaged roofs at six facilities including parking structures and the Ice and Events Center. The award went to an out-of-state contractor because state law requires the lowest responsible bidder with a 5% in-state preference that wasn't enough.
