Buy concrete barriers and boulders to block homeless camps and protect city property
In Plain English
The city wants to purchase K-rails (concrete highway barriers) and large stone boulders from two companies. These will be used to prevent homeless encampments from forming in certain areas and protect city rights-of-way from unauthorized use. The initial contracts cost up to $450,000 each for 3 years, with options to extend for 2 more years at $150,000 per year.
