City Council awards $897K bid for Spruce Street utility replacement project

Riverton City Council has taken significant steps to enhance local infrastructure during their regular meeting on June 3, 2025. The council approved two major projects aimed at improving utility services and snow removal capabilities in the community.

The first key decision was the awarding of a bid for the Spruce Street utility replacement project to Bornhoff Construction for $897,014. This project will replace 1,344 linear feet of sewer pipe and approximately 1,810 feet of waterline, along with three fire hydrants, ensuring compliance with safety codes. The project is partially funded by a $360,000 mineral royalty grant, with the remaining $538,000 sourced from the city’s 1% funds. The council unanimously supported this motion, highlighting the importance of upgrading essential infrastructure for residents.

In addition, the council approved a bid for a multiuse snow removal vehicle from Hardline Equipment Company for $352,129. This vehicle will enhance the city’s snow removal operations, equipped to handle various attachments. The bid came in under budget, allowing for a slight reduction in overall costs. The council's swift approval reflects a commitment to maintaining efficient city services, especially during winter months.

These decisions underscore Riverton's proactive approach to infrastructure development and public safety, ensuring that the community is well-equipped to handle both utility needs and seasonal challenges. As these projects move forward, residents can expect improved services and enhanced safety in their neighborhoods.
