Skinner said the total cost for the city hall project is approximately $2.1 million.
The parking lot by the city hall has been torn out and is scheduled to be resurfaced and asphalted next week.
Skinner said almost all of the second floor has been completed, walls have been painted and sealing tile has been installed, but cabinets need to be installed.
Next week the city will do a walk through on the second floor and work on the floor should be finished in the next few weeks.
The council chambers on the first floor is getting carpet currently, Skinner said.
The Heating and Cooling system is running properly, Skinner said.
Warsaw Board of Public Works and Safety approved a change order for the new city hall during its meeting Friday.
The city of Warsaw purchased the former National City Bank at the end of 2010. The building is on the southwest corner of Center and Buffalo Streets. The city is to renovating the building as the new city hall.
The change order was for $8,624.
The total expenditure of change order 11 also includes $1,433 to install a new door and frame that currently does not meet guidelines under the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Also, $534 will be spent to install PVC pipe to relieve from a third-flood drain so one drain does not have to handle the entire load.
Charlie Smith, board member, made a motion for the change order, seconded by board member Jeff Grose.
The $8,624 change order is for some additional relief that was needed from the third-floor drain.
The bulk of the change order, $5,847, is to allow for a third-floor staircase to be finished.
The board also approved a $189,294.30 payment to Harold McComb & Son for work on the new city hall.
Warsaw Board of Public Works and Safety approved Warsaw Police Department purchasing six bullet-proof vests using grant funding Friday.
The vests will be paid using a $2,997 grant through the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
The city of Warsaw will be required to match the amount awarded to pay for the vests.
During Friday’s meeting, Kip Shuter, Warsaw pubic information officer, said the department received notification this week that the department has received the funding from the bureau.
Also during the meeting, the board approved applying to the Indiana Department of Health for a grant reimbursement for the city’s bicycle and pedestrian master plan.
The city has paid R.W. Armstrong three invoices totaling $25,591.45 for work done on the master plan.
The city will apply for the amount for grant reimbursement.
The board approved a change order to move the Warsaw Fire Department communication tower at Station 1 at 109 E. Main St.
The tower had to be moved from the original location to the east side of the building due to the underground power lines that feed the station.
The cost of moving the tower was cheaper than rerouting the power lines, Mike Brubaker, WFD chief, said.
The bid Board of Works previously approved July 6 was $45,859.18, and the change order for the new location is $2,134.40.
The board approved a $369,046.80 payment to Grand River Construction for work on the Center Street wastewater pump station.

The district includes the property where the new Meijer store is being constructed at Anchorage Road and U.S. 30, and adjacent property to the east purchased by the Kosciusko YMCA.
It also includes Biomet and a 13-acre tract of land bordered by Anchorage Road and U.S. 30 that will be the site of a new commercial development.
The board approved a quote with G & G Hauling for $53,992 for sewer work at the Warsaw Wastewater Treatment plant at 794 W. Center St.
James Emans, city engineer, recommended the G & G Hauling quote the board approved.
The council also reviewed quotes from Everest Excavating, $107,065.20 and All-Star Construction & Excavating, $104,830.
The board also reviewed quotes for storm sewer lining work to install a metal pipe at Central Park.
Quotes were reviewed from Pro-Form Pipe Line Inc. at $149,965 and APM-Peraform at $185,253.50.
The city will take the quotes under advisement and award a bid at its Nov. 2 meeting.
The board approved releasing a lien for property at 710 Wilson St.
The board also approved cell phone allowances for limited city business for employees recommended by department heads.
Cell phone allowances were granted to WPD patrol officers Justin Curtis, Jason Dobbins and Jordan Roberts.
The board approved street closures for portions of Harrison, Sheridan, Cook and Arthur streets on Nov. 3 for the Kosciusko Community Hospital Health & Wellness Mayflower 5K Run and Walk.[[In-content Ad]]
