Public works reports in-house culvert work saved about $2 million; RCP grant map in progress

Public Works Director told the council crews originated 170 work orders this year and completed 167, and that in-house installation of roughly 63 culverts produced substantial savings compared with contractor work. "We have finished the installation of approximately 63 culverts that, we agreed to do instead of letting the contractors do it for quite a substantial savings to the taxpayers of Ivanhoe," the director said, and staff are now adding concrete bulkheads to many of those pipe installations.
