High bids threaten phase two NDP project in Lawrence
City Manager Buford Watson said bids for the second phase of the federal Neighborhood Development Program exceed the engineer's estimate. If seven deduct alternates are dropped, the Constant bid could fall to 304000 but still tops the 260000 budget, prompting a likely $25000 city contribution. The commission delayed action pending staff review and eyed possible Phase Three funding while approving other budget items and notices.
