J.S. Held, a consulting firm out of Cincinnati, will manage the construction of Covington’s new city hall building.
The $330,720 contract allows J.S. Held to act as the city’s agent in managing and planning various aspects of the project from pre-construction through the construction of the building itself.
J.S. Held has already consulted with the city on some of the project’s early planning. The contract will enable them to act as the city’s agent, a kind of expert proxy, in managing the construction, including the project’s many subcontractors. The contract with J.S. Held was approved as part of the consent agenda for this week’s Covington City Commission meeting. Financing for the construction itself was also approved at the meeting.
