The Bowling Green City Commission on Tuesday is slated to vote on a $451,000 contract with Glasgow’s Alliance Corp. for renovations to the lobby area at Sloan Convention Center. The planned renovations are designed to make the center more competitive with newer convention facilities.

A memo from David Hehner of the city’s public works department said the scope of the work includes removing old flooring and adding new carpet tiles, lighting upgrades, covering brick walls, painting, new signage and installing sound baffle panels and an acoustic wood grill in the ceiling.

“The main goals of this project are to improve acoustics and lighting and update aesthetics in the main lobby of the twenty year old building,” Hehner wrote in the memo.

Three bids were received for the work, with Alliance being the lowest bid, followed by Sunbelt Construction at $462,000 and C&C Contracting at $468,850, according to the memo.

Also on the agenda for Tuesday’s 4:30 p.m. meeting at city hall are:

•approving a $426,271 bid from Southern Kentucky Contractors of Bowling Green for fiscal year 2016 sidewalk construction.
