Some or all of this type of work is expected to take place at each intersection, documents show. What else? The contract will go to Jerdon Enterprise, which submitted a bid estimating the cost to be around $6.3 million, documents show. While that estimate came in higher than the city engineer’s estimate of $5.7 million, the city budgeted nearly $10.4 million for the project. Initially, the city will front the costs for the project. However, those costs will be reimbursed using the city’s Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone, or TIRZ, that is set up in the area, officials said. Looking ahead Work is expected to begin in October and could wrap up in August, according to city documents.
