(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission has approved a contract with a Topeka firm to provide engineering services for the replacement of the traffic signals at the intersection of 1st and Oregon Streets.

The Commission unanimously approved the contract with SBB Engineering when they met Monday.

The Commission voted last month to accept a proposal from the firm to provide the services for an estimated total fee of $49,680.

City Administrator Brad Scott said the city would be able to stop the project at any point, but would have to pay for the engineering services.

Scott said he has been keeping the Kansas Department Transportation informed on the actions taken by the Commission regarding the traffic signals, and they have been pleased with the progress the city has been making.
