Manshield Construction is getting the call to complete the remainder of
work on Phase 1 of the waterfront. City Council approved a proposal
that will hand the company the 3.2 million dollar contract. City
Manager Tim Commisso says the city prefers a tender method to award
contracts on a competitive basis but in a case like this it makes sense
to award the contract to the company already on scene. Manshield is
also the contractor who will be building the private portion of the
project.
