Heating project for Vets building delayed by bid issues
The Veterans Memorial Commission and Cedar Rapids City Council rejected a single bid to install permanent boilers after bids lacked breakdowns for three parts of the project. Only Unzeitig Construction bid about $500,000 over the $1 million estimate, delaying work by at least 30 days as planners pursue new bids. FEMA will fund the electrical/mechanical room relocation, while State Jumpstart funds cover other costs.
