Item 15 Report from Public Works. Recommendation to Award a contract to Harry H. Joe Construction for the North Health Facility Tenant Improvement Project for a total contract amount not to exceed 2,563,666. District nine. Right. There's emotion. Can I get a second, please? Mr. Myers, I'd like just a quick, brief stack of boards or project. Dirk was going to get started. Report, please. Great. Craig Beck, director of Public Works. Yes. I think you may remember city council. This is an. Important. Project that we have before you this evening. It's for the North Health Facility. It's necessary to do a number of improvements that will improve both the efficiency from an energy perspective and also from an operational perspective. As you may know, we've been working up there in the Halton Park community area, completing a brand new community center and doing retrofit of the old. Auditorium and building. And completing. This will continue to provide needed services in the north Long Beach area. We have a very competitive bid. It's about $500,000 under the engineer's estimate. So we believe that we're in a good competitive marketplace right now, and we recommend your approval to. Move this project forward. That concludes my report. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd like to just add a comment. Yeah. Go ahead. Okay, thanks. So I'm proud of this project. It did it. This facility was a center for families and youth, and it actually had to close down and move out all the all the staff because it was in such poor shape. It used to be a site of an old development center as well. And so now that we've identified these grants and we're able to move forward, it allows us to bring a clinic in North Long Beach at the Highland Park site, a workforce base and more community meeting space. That Highland Park that really changes the function of out in part from just a focus for seniors and teens, but now a resource for the whole family. Resources, health resources, clothes and family. So it's a really important project. And I want to thank Craig back in the Health Department for what they've done to be able to creatively get this done with with really no impact to our general fund. But. Thank you customers. And they have sent comments. Good job. No comments of the council member. Your anger. That's very ringa. Okay. Roll call. Can we get the mover and seconder for item 15, mayor? It was Richardson and the rest. Thank you. District one. I. District two, i. District three. I district for. I. District five. Hi. District six. By District seven. District eight, District nine. I motion carries. Great. Thank you. With that, we are going to go ahead and go into new business. So as we as we conclude, I want to start by closing the meeting in honor of someone that meant that many of us knew.
