Title
A Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Contract with K-Five Construction Corporation for Project 19-12, Madison Street Improvements, for Additional Scope of Services to Include Brick Replacement and Landscaping on Madison Street from Humphrey Avenue to Austin Boulevard and Authorizing its Execution

The work to improve this portion of Madison will cost approximately $125,000. There are available funds in the current construction contract with K-Five to fund this additional scope due to contingencies so a change order will not be required.
