Falls City overlay proposals tabled

By John Nixon

03/10/2020

(KLZA)-- Falls City Council members tabled action on bids for the milling and asphalt overlay of Chase Street from 14th Street to 21st Street and Chase Street from 25th to 26th Street when they met March 2.

City Administrator Gary Jorn said the lone bid received was from Herzog in St. Joseph. The bid included several options to consider because of the various depths of the current asphalt.

Herzog estimated that on a per ton basis, a 2-inch overlay would cost around $132-thousand for the project.

Ward I Council member Don Ferguson asked why Chase Street was selected for an overlay when there are a number of other streets that he has suggested for an overlay.

Jorn says the plan is to finish up work on north and south streets before doing east-west streets. Jorn said he would like to see Chase Street completed this year, work on Fulton Street in 2021 and then begin to work on the east-west streets needing an overlay.

The bids will be revisited during an upcoming Council meeting.

The Council did approve on a 4-2 vote to resurface the tennis courts at Grandview Park at a cost of $13,490. Council members Ferguson and Lucas Froeschl cast the nay votes.

Approval was given to a request to add a full-time service person to the Gas Department as recommended by the Board of Public Works.
