(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $315,295 to Rulo Transportation for the Reed Bed Rehabilitation & Replacement Project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant when they met Monday night.
Utility Superintendent Ray Luhring said the bid was higher than anticipated. Rulo Transportation said they bid the project assuming the worst case scenario as far as needing to replace aggregate, pea gravel and sand.
Luhring said after the company dug a test hole in one of the reed beds, they felt it less likely they will need to replace as much material and there is a possibility the cost could be as much as $180 thousand less than the bid.
The Board of Public Works recommended the contract be awarded. ARPA Funds will be used to pay for the work.
