Following review of the bid documents, the Eagle Grove City Council awarded the contract for mitigation of asbestos containing materials to Site Services of Algona for the downtown façade project. For a bid price of $4,340, they will properly handle any materials described and dispose of same in compliance with existing regulations for the materials.

The proposed project will include addition and replacement of water mains, fire hydrants and gate valves and/or valve boxes with surface replacement. Methods will include directional drilling and open cut with trenches approximately 10 feet wide by the length of the install.
