Therefore, the next lowest bidder, West Construction, is being recommended for award. West Construction submitted a bid of $320,000.
The Pavilion at Atlantic Dunes Park was destroyed by fire on June 27/28, 2016. The staff completed demolition of the site and closed it to the public on July 1, 2016.
