Although the ribbon cutting ceremony happened in late March and the new City Hall has been operating for more than two months, the Eloy City Council officially approved the completion and closed out the financials for the project on Monday night.
The council budgeted $7,616,161 as the guaranteed maximum price spelled out in a contract amendment with Core Construction. During the construction process, city staff worked closely with Core and the architect, Smith Group, and managed to reduce costs in other areas to keep the project under the overall projected budget.
According to City Manager Harvey Krauss, the original contract with Core was for preconstruction services and Amendment 1 was for the GMP. After Amendment 2 with Core, the city ended up $92,808 under the amount that was budgeted.
