Council Rejects Bid for Plano Police and Courts Complex
The Plano City Council rejected a $635,000 construction bid for the planned police and courts complex at a special meeting Wednesday. With land, furniture, equipment, and design fees, total cost would reach $820,000, but only $572,337 is available. The council ordered the architect to remove the lower level for future expansion and seek new bids on a revised plan, without altering police facilities.
