The City Council approved the replacement of the glass panel railing in the FY21 CIP with a budget of $150,000.00  because glass panels were being broken and long term leaving the glass panels in place is not feasible.  The project was bid twice in 2021 and the replacement cost of the railing significantly exceeded the project budget. 

However, the broken panels were deteriorating and causing a safety concern. Thus, it was decided to replace the panels and see if the vandalism would end.   Unfortunately, since this replacement of panels, the vandalism has continued with two more panels being broken and one currently broken.    Given the propensity for ongoing vandalism, it becomes necessary to request the project is sent out for bid again.
