Fort Scott City Commission approves $114,882.66 payment to Heck and Wicker for Horton, Sixth street work
Summary
The Fort Scott City Commission approved payment to contractor Heck and Wicker Inc. for work on the Horton Street and Sixth Street improvements, covering dirt work, some sidewalk and line work; retainage and subcontractor payments were not included.
The Fort Scott City Commission approved a payment of $114,882.66 to Heck and Wicker Incorporated for work on the Horton Street and Sixth Street improvements.
A city staff member said the payment covers "the dirt work, some of the sidewalk work plus the line work," and clarified, "what you're going to vote on is what we owe Heck and Wicker, not what is owed to their subcontractors. That is up to them. But this part is for Heck and Wicker itself." The comment immediately preceded a motion to approve the application for payment numbered 9 for project 24-414.
Commissioners moved and seconded the payment motion and approved it by roll call. The commission recorded a quorum earlier in the meeting with Commissioners Dylan Olsen, Tracy Danzer and Catherine Salisbury present; Commissioner Matthew Wells was absent. The vote on the payment was recorded as unanimous among those present. The agenda materials and the staff explanation specified that the payment does not address retainage or amounts owed directly to subcontractors.
After the payment vote the commission heard reports and then approved a motion to adjourn.
The action funds part of the contractor's ongoing work on the Horton Street and Sixth Street improvements (project number 24-414). The meeting transcript did not specify the funding source, contract start/completion dates, or remaining contract balance.
