The McDonough City Council voted at its Feb. 7 workshop meeting to approve a $349,949 contract with a contingency allowance giving Allsouth Constructors Inc. the go-ahead to do modifications to the city’s water treatment plant.

The project cost is a capital outlay expense which is to be paid from the water treatment plant’s budget, according to city officials.

The contract states that the work is to be completed in six months from the beginning date specified by the city’s engineer or pay a penalty of $600 for each additional day until completion.
