Cambridge, Collins report completion and progress on ARPA-funded public works projects
Summary
City officials from Cambridge and Collins updated the Story County Board on American Rescue Plan Act-funded projects: Cambridge completed a stormwater project; Collins reported sewer rehab and lead/galavanized line replacement plans with contractors and projected completion dates.
Representatives from the City of Cambridge and the City of Collins reported to the Story County Board of Supervisors on April 29 about projects funded by county ARPA grants.
A Cambridge representative told the board the city was awarded $250,000 in Story County ARPA funds for a stormwater project. The city requested and received an amendment after bids came in under cost estimates; with the amendment the project was completed and, the city reported, is preventing ponding after storms. The city noted its public works director, Dale Henick, was available to answer questions about the completed work.
Katie, speaking for the City of Collins, reported three ARPA projects: one completed program providing free meals, and two public-works projects still underway. Collins reported sewer lining and rehabilitation work by AccuJet (reorganizing as American Rehab Coatings) expected to finish in late July, and a water rehabilitation effort that shifted funds to detect and replace lead and galvanized water lines. The city said Cooper and Sons is contracted for line identification and MSA must be contracted to satisfy Iowa regulations; Collins anticipates completing the sewer work by late July and the water projects by September.
Why it matters: the reports show county ARPA grants being used for local infrastructure and community services and provide timelines and contractor names for ongoing work.
Ending: Board members expressed appreciation for the updates and confirmed projects are proceeding on schedule as described by city officials.
