The city of Parsons will spend about $40,000 from a round of coronavirus relief funding to build a barrier for second-floor offices in the Municipal Building. During a regular meeting Monday, city commissioners approved a proposal to build the permanent barrier that will separate the workspace area from the lobby of city offices that include those of several department heads. The barrier will protect employees from diseases such as COVID-19. Five contractors were contacted to supply a design/build proposal. Only one, Koehn Construction Services, submitted a plan that will cost $40,663.85 to build a barrier wall along with two doors with remote openers. The company plans to start work in as little as two weeks, with completion by the end of the year.
