The city of Albany is requesting proposals for a Construction Manager/General Contractor in support of the wetlands treatment project “Talking Water Gardens at Simpson Park.”

Money for the project is coming from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Clean Water State Revolving Fund, and includes money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
An information forum will be conducted on Monday at 1:30 p.m. at Albany City Hall, 333 Broadalbin St. S.W.
Possible interviews are scheduled to be conducted on Oct. 14, and the tentative commencement of the contract will be Oct. 26.
