(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council has approved a bid for construction of a new building for the city Gas Department at the public works area located on South Crook Street in Falls City.

The building will include a shop area so trucks can be put inside as well as office space and storage space.

Four companies expressed interest in the job but only two bids were submitted. On the recommendation of the Board of Public Works the Council approved a bid of $195,000 from AHRS Construction in Bern, Kansas with 120 days to complete the job.

The other bid was from Mezger Construction of Table Rock in the amount of $199,349. It was going to be 180 days to completion.

Mayor Jerry Oliver said the estimate and budget for the new building was $150,000, but federal regulations drove up the cost.

The Council also approved the use of Aquatic Park Sinking Funds and Park Department funds to pay for painting of the aquatic park at a total cost of $39,900. City Administrator Gary Jorn said $38,516 left over from the construction of the pool could be used with the rest coming out of the Parks Department budget.

Torrey Brothers Construction of Wamego, Kansas will scrub and degrease the pool, remove mold and organic pathogens and contaminants and then brush blast the pool to removal all loose and deteriorating coatings.

All debris will be removed and two coats of high build epoxy will be applied.

This will be the 10th year the aquatic park has been open in Falls City.
