Butler City Council hopes to award the bids for the city’s new parking garage next month.

The bids for the 238-space garage are due June 10, but will need to be reviewed before council can make its decision.

“They have to qualify them on everything to make sure they bid what we are looking for,” said Mayor Tom Donaldson, referencing the specifications for the structure. “I anticipate we’ll award the bid at the June council meeting.”

Council, which meet Thursday night, will have its regular monthly meeting June 25.

The city plans to build the garage as part of the Centre City project, which includes a proposed Marriott Springhill Suites hotel and the already-completed Rite Aid pharmacy.

Donaldson said J.S. Capitol, the developer of the hotel, is ready to begin construction. He expects the work to begin in July.

The about 70-room hotel will be owned by J.S. Capitol and the city’s redevelopment authority. The parking garage will be owned by the city and managed by the city parking authority.

Both projects would be completed in the second half of 2016 if construction starts in July.
