City close to finalizing payments for East Genesee Street project

AUBURN -- The city of Auburn will soon finalize payments for the East Genesee Street reconstruction project.

The Auburn City Council on Tuesday approved two change orders totaling more than $168,000, of which $13,390.14 will be paid to F. Rizzo Construction, Inc. The rest of the money will go to C&S Companies, an engineering and architectural company that designed the project and provided state-mandated inspections during the reconstruction.

Although the change orders were unanimously approved, some councilors questioned the city's responsibility for footing the bill.
