(KLZA)-- AHRS Construction of Bern, Kansas has been awarded a bid for a portion of the work for the new electrical generator at the Falls City Power Plant. 

On the recommendation of the Board of Public Works, Falls City Council members have approved a bid of more than $263-thousand dollars from AHRS to do demo work and build foundations for equipment. 

Once the demolition work is completed AHRS will build the foundation to sit the dual fuel fired engine generating unit on and related equipment foundations.

During the February 20th Council meeting, City Administrator Gary Jorn said he anticipates the engine will be delivered around June 1.
