Faith's Parking Lot Project

A detailed update was shared with the congregation this past Wednesday, but here is a summary of that important update and next steps:

• Formal bids for our parking lot project were received at the deadline on February 21st. A total of five bids were received. 
• The Project Team met to review and deliberate in-depth. Two companies were deemed finalists.
• The two companies are large, with large crews (100+ and 90+ respectively), and are on the rosters of local municipalities for their contracts. The FBC team felt very good about having two strong bids from these two strong companies.
• The cost range for these bids (including HST) was $307,000 to $366,000. 
• Both companies indicated a Spring start date.
• The FBC Board met on March 5th to discuss the two bids. Our engineering firm was present to provide an overview of the bids and answer questions. 
• The board unanimously voted on the selection of a recommended company and to proceed using funds donated specifically for the Parking Lot Project and funds available within Church savings.
• Timeline:
• Sunday March 9th: A short presentation will be provided at the conclusion of the service. 
• Week of March 9th: Church members are asked to prayerfully consider the information provided and are invited to ask questions.
• Sunday March 16th: After the service, a motion will be brought forward on proceeding with the Parking Lot Project with the recommended company and funded with available funds (designated parking lot donations and available savings).
• We give glory and thanks to God for bringing us to this exciting point on this journey.
