A pair of contracts for concrete repair were among the many items the Chandler City Council approved the week of Dec. 13.

A pair of contracts, totaling more than $8.1 million, were awarded to Vincon Engineering Construction, LLC, and Temcon Concrete Construction, LLC.

Chandler Utilities and Public Works Director John Knudson told the council only $1.1 million for the concrete will come from bonds while the other $7 million will come from Highway User Revenue Fund, or HURF funds.
