Excerpt: The City of Fitchburg could save almost $1 million after bids for the new Fitchburg Public Library were approved at the last city council meeting.
The Fitchburg City Council unanimously approved 10 of the 11 sealed bids for the new library at Tuesday’s meeting. Collectively, the bids came back at about $8.96 million.
"Because of the favorable bids that we got, the total cost of the project is still coming in under the $10 million budget if we don't use all of the contingency, and that includes the geothermal," Mayor Jay Allen said. "The board and all the people working on this have done an incredible job to make this happen and to make it happen within the budget."
