East Providence Meeting Recap3/19/25 EP City Council — Mar 19 | ||
|
The East Providence City Council held a special meeting on March 19, 2025, presided over by Council President Bob Rodrik. Council members Lawson, Fogerty, and Rigo were also present. The sole purpose of the meeting was to address a resolution that had been omitted from the previous night's agenda: authorizing the award of a structural steel contract for the new East Providence Community Center. The City Solicitor presented the resolution, explaining the urgency was due to potential future tariffs on steel, which could increase the price. The council discussed the recommendation from the project's general contractor, Bentley Companies, to award the contract to the low bidder, Allied Steel Buildings. The contract amount was stated as $731.65, with an additional $100,000 contingency fund established in case tariffs are imposed before the steel is delivered. Councilman Lawson made a motion to approve the resolution, which was seconded by Councilman Fogerty. The motion passed with a unanimous vote. Immediately following the vote, the council voted unanimously to adjourn the meeting. | ||
