If no commissioner raises a finger Monday, the board will "authorize" the change, which won unanimous approval from the city Planning Board. Also on the consent is a change order to the $4 million project on Old Bradenton Road, the first time that thoroughfare has been upgraded in decades. Contractor Gator Grading and Paving is asking for almost $255,000 more because of "conflicts during construction with both public and private utility lines [that] have caused daily production and comple- tion of the project to take much longer than expected or desired." The money will cover a nearly half-year-long extension of the project to create a modern and model avenue on the north side of the city. The delays came when previously unknown utility infrastructure was discovered during excavation. Work slowed until "positive reso- lution" was achieved. Another consent agenda item is a $110,838 contract for a year of private security for city buildings. Diamond Investigations and Security won the bid with an hourly rate of $15.65 for armed guards. It will provide secu- rity for the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, the Utilities and Public Works departments and the Municipal Auditorium. The Downtown The City Commission on Monday will be asked to vote on giving 'nightclub' status to Duval's New World Café so it can serve hard liquor.
