Project B focuses on milling and paving approximately 1,440 square yards of Hamilton Boulevard, including thermoplastic striping and minor concrete driveway work. Project C entails installing 2,450 linear feet of 5-foot-wide sidewalk on East College Street with associated grading and driveway modifications. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 12, 2025, at 10:00 am, with sealed proposals due by 2:00 PM on September 4, 2025.
