Body
WHEREAS the Madison Common Council approved Resolution Number 60925, I.D. Number 34805, authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement for design, fabrication and inspection of installation between the City of Madison and Flow Forms America, Inc., for creating site specific public art features that replace the four round brick fountains on the Capitol Square Wisconsin Avenue; and
WHEREAS the bid set documentation for the construction became more detailed, it became necessary for the Consultant to prepare the bid documentation drawings and produce the bid set documents adding additional costs; and
