From NCTimes.com: MURRIETA: Contracts for Korean War wall up for review
MURRIETA ---- The Murrieta City Council is poised to approve money for the construction of the Korean War portion of the city's veterans memorial.

Council members will be asked to approve a $32,500 contract for the construction of the granite wall, and a separate contract for $58,600 to a company that will engrave the wall with images depicting the war.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 24601 Jefferson Ave.

City staff members are recommending that the council approve the contracts without soliciting competitive bids.

In the case of the engraving contract, staff members suggest that the council retain the services of Cold Spring Granite Co. of Minnesota because the company specializes in engraving the types of granite that are being used on the project.

For the wall's construction, city staff members are recommending the company that built the first phase of the memorial, Topline Construction of La Habra.

City officials anticipate unveiling the Korean War wall during the city's Veterans Day Parade in November.
