The parking lot used for the Big Rapids Farmers Market in front of City Hall will be getting resurfaced.

On Monday, the city commission approved a bid from Rieth-Riely Construction in the amount of $105,500 for the improvements.

City Manager Mark Gifford said the parking lot was targeted this year given its use and condition. 

The city commission also accepted a proposal from engineering firm Fleis & VandenBrink  for Professional Engineering Services for improvements to Hills of Mitchell Creek Booster Station.

City Manager Mark Gifford told commissioners two years ago it was identified that there was a need to improve the station to mitigate excessive pump cycling and pressure surges. 

Total cost of the project is $66,7000, it's for Spring/Summer 2024 construction.
