Body
Summary and Background Information:
The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the award of a contract for replacement of two Pool Dehumidification Units (PDUs) and ancillary equipment at the Eagle Pointe Recreation Center to Frontier Mechanical Inc. The amount of the contract is $998,900.
