District 1 Councilman Mario Bravo submitted a recommendation to help hold contractors accountable, adding to other efforts to help struggling businesses impacted by construction in San Antonio.
Bravo recommends raising the missed deadline fine amount, which currently varies between $700 and $2,000.
What the dollar amounts will look like for the increased fines and incentives is still being determined. The Responsible Bidders Ordinance gives the council more say in the contractor hiring process instead of having to take the lowest bid. San Antonio City Manager Erik Walsh approved allocating $2.25 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds for direct grants. Businesses that qualify can get a maximum of $35,000.
