Project Updates: Jake Zimmerer addressed Council about Highway 30 resurfacing. The plan is to do all construction on weekends so it does not impact traffic. The city will be responsible for the cost associated with the outer lanes and IDOT has requested the city paint the parking stripes as that is not part of the project. They will communicate with the city when they have a start date. Council asked if they could extend the resurfacing further from 9th street to around the curve on Highway 30. 2022 Street projects is out for bid. Bidding is at the next meeting in March. One base bid for Superior, the other two streets as alternates. This will give the city flexibility to accept the bids that we can afford. The city does have a $200,000 USDA grant as long as there are matching funds to help with the cost. Bluffs Paving was told they would have pipe in April for the Highway 30 Water Main Replacement. As soon as they get the pipe, they will be on sight to finish the project. USDA Well Improvement project is finally moving on to the review stage, they are doing a site survey.
