From the meeting
The amendment packet included a detailed design-development cost estimate for the Van Meter Library project. The estimate showed a total project cost of $6,137,065 across site work, concrete, mechanical, electrical, and other major scopes. Even though the council only approved the fee amendment and payment, the estimate gives a strong signal on the scale and trade packages likely to come next if the library project proceeds.
