Visitor Center settlement offer $200,000

A $200,000 settlement for repairs to faulty utility installation over the Visitor Information Center restrooms goes before the City Commission Monday for approval.

While disputing the charges, contractors Perry-McCall and Walker Parking Consultants “desire to resolve and settle all claims” in the leakage over the Visitor Center restrooms that forced their closing for several months.

Perry-McCall would pay $80,000 under the agreement and Walker Parking Consultants $120,000.

They were prime contractors in construction of the Visitor Center parking facility and visitor center remodeling.

If you are planning to attend, the regularly scheduled St. Augustine City Commission meeting will begin at 5:00 p.m. Monday and will be held in the Alcazar Room; on the first floor of City Hall, located at 75 King Street in St. Augustine.
