GILROY – City officials gave contractors a second extra week to bid on building a new home for the Gilroy Police Department.
Officials were scheduled to open bids Thursday, and previously the Thursday before that. Now they will do so at 2 p.m. this coming Friday, also the first day of the Gilroy Garlic Festival.
City officials postponed the bid opening for a second time in order to give contractors clarification of some minor details within its massive set of plans for the station.
The plans span about 300 pages, plus another 1,000 or so of technical specifications – almost 40 pounds of paper, according to Bill Headley, the city’s development manager for facilities and parks.
The new police station will be built at the corner of Hanna and Seventh streets and is expected to cost about $28 million, according to the estimates of a city-hired consultant.
