DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Resource Management recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the Director of Resource Management, with County Counsel concurrence, to award and execute a $851,776 construction contract with Gordon H. Ball, Inc. to replace two large culverts on Cherry Glen Road.
