IM seeks bids for parking lot work

IRON MOUNTAIN — Bids will be opened Aug. 6 for maintenance work on city-owned parking lots in downtown Iron Mountain.

The lot between the 100 block of A East A Street and East Hughitt Street needs to be sealed, crack-filled, marked and striped, said City Manager Jordan Stanchina. The cost is expected to be less than $15,000.

In addition, the Dickinson County Library, City Hall and Hughitt Street parking lots all need pavement markings and stripes.

The work will begin sometime after the Aug. 18 downtown Italian Fest.
