Benicia Marina Breakwater Repairs
The council awarded a $3.08 million contract to repair the failing 1970s-era breakwater, extending its life about 30 years and keeping the marina entrance navigable. Without repairs, sedimentation could eventually close the marina channel.

Southern Pacific Railroad Depot project management costs
The historic depot needs a new roof, paint and gutters before the rains come. The council green-lit the construction work but balked at a $90,000, no-bid construction management contract — nearly half the value of the construction itself — and demanded competing quotes.
