(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council approved two contracts Monday night recommended by the Board of Public Works.
The first contract approved was for more than $1.3-million. Utility Superintendent Alan Romine told the Council this would be the final contract for the new electrical generation engine being installed at the Power Plant.
The work will include installation of the piping and electrical for the engine.
The Farabee Company from Hickman, Nebraska was awarded the bid, which was nearly $640,000 less than the other bid submitted. They expect to complete their work in 10-12 weeks with a completion date of December 10.
The Council also approved a bid for a waterline replacement project.
The bid to upgrade three blocks of water line on Valley Street from 2-inch, to a 6-inch line, and install three new fire hydrants was awarded to General Excavating at a cost of $194,675. That was the low bid submitted and came in approximately $6,600 less than the estimate.
