The parties recently amended the agreement to allow for the Barton Springs Conservancy to contribute an additional $384,000 for the construction of the Barton Springs salamander exhibit, a component of the larger project. These contributions will supplement existing City funding to complete the construction of the Barton Springs bathhouse rehabilitation project. The related item on the Council agenda authorizes the negotiation and execution of a construction contract with the selected contractor.
