Next Steps • Salt Barn / Truck Wash Building: • Award the site and building design contract - The proposal from MRB Group has been reviewed and found to be the most efficient option. A resolution for this could be put on the 3-6-2025 Board Agenda. • Revise the Project Schedule - The goal would be to complete the design and advertise for bid as early as possible this spring. This would allow the project to start in mid 2025. • Coordinate - The demolition of the existing trucks bays and renovation of the existing office space for Animal Control will need to be coordinated with the construction of the new Salt Barn and Truck Wash Building.
