City moves to continue Phase 1
By Jill Fennema
The other major item on the council agenda last week Wednesday was a change order for Phase 1 of the Capital Improvement Plan. Because the city had funds remaining to be used towards that phase, they added one more block and intersection, with that work to be completed by Hulstein Excavating, Inc. (HEI) this summer. The work will take place on 2nd Ave, from Maple to Center Street, including the intersection at Center Street.
That should spend what is left of the Phase 1 budget, which is $673,000. HEI will need to have the project substantially completed by July 1, with a final completion set for July 21. It was noted by the engineers that at this time of year, contractors schedules are “up in the air” because no one knows what the weather will do.
