Mason City council asked to award sanitary sewer project contract

MASON CITY — The City Council in Mason City tonight will consider approving the plans and specifications as well as award a contract for the city’s Fiscal Year 2025 Sanitary Sewer Repairs Project.

The city’s interim public works director Brent Hinson says in a memo to the council that the project continues the city’s work on sanitary sewer point repairs and cured-in-place pipe rehabilitation in various areas, along with ancillary work, as determined by the city’s closed-circuit televising program.

Hinson says the goal of the program is to ensure a well-maintained system, including the reduction of inflow and infiltration of stormwater into the sanitary sewer system. The estimated cost of the project was $1 million, with Bob McKiness Excavating and Grading of Mason City the lone bidder on the project in the amount of $998,862.

The council meets tonight at 7 o’clock in the Mason City Room of the Public Library.
