The city plans to build a 433-yard sidewalk on Brookwood Road, and Avery Landscaping was the lowest bidder for the job out of seven bidders, with a price of $849,121.
The work is expected to start in August, and construction should be completed by February, according to a proposal from Sain Associates, which has submitted a proposal to handle the engineering and inspection of the sidewalk installation for an additional $130,000.
