(KMZA)--Plans for a street reconstruction project in Seneca move forward.
The Seneca City Council last week approved the final plans for the reconstruction of Main Street from 7th to 11th Streets, and authorized the issuance of an invitation to bid.
The Council did make one change to the final plans, which is to make colored and non-colored crosswalks as bid alternates so pricing can be obtained on both items.
Plans call for rebuilding the street with a concrete surface, along with new curb and gutter. Alternate bids will also be sought for new sidewalks, storm sewer improvements and street lighting in the project area.
City Administrator Tammi Haverkamp said bids are slated to be opened January 10th. She said the project is expected to be awarded at the Council's January 18th meeting, with construction starting in early spring.
Once the contractor has been issued a notice to proceed, Haverkamp said the work must be substantially complete within 150 working days, with final completion within 180 days.
She said provisions have been made within the bid documents to require the contractor to make the street passable for the Nemaha County Fair.
Haverkamp said sales tax reserves will be used to fund the project.
