Repairs coming to Butler’s Centre City Parking Garage
While an ongoing effort aims to upgrade parking citywide, officials moved to perform preventive maintenance on one of the city’s parking garages.
Butler City Council voted unanimously at a meeting Thursday evening, Feb. 26, to award a repair project for the Centre City Parking Garage to C.H. & D. Enterprises at a cost of $47,888. C.H. & D. was selected out of four total bidders on the project.
City zoning officer John Evans said the repair is more “preventive” in nature, addressing cracks beginning to form in the concrete. The garage, at 150 S. McKean St., opened nearly a decade ago in November 2016.
He said he anticipates work beginning in March and taking roughly two weeks to complete. He said crews may isolate sections of the garage for work, but does not expect the garage to have major impacts or closures.
C.H. & D. Enterprises was also responsible for recent work on the Monroe Street bridge. Evans said the city was happy with their performance.
In other business, the city approved the purchase of a new Kubota zero turn mower from M & R Power Equipment through a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract at a cost of $12,868.72. It will replace a 2021 mower that was subsequently approved for donation to Pullman Park.
Mayor Bob Dandoy said despite the “donation,” the city owns the park and the mower. By transferring it to the park, Butler Area School District — the park’s operator — will be able to use it.
The next Butler City Council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, March 12.
