Peru board approves contractor payments as wastewater plant project reaches midstage
Summary
Officials approved several contractor payments for the wastewater treatment project and heard an AES progress report that the work is about 42% complete; a roof condition on an existing building will require a forthcoming change order.
The Peru town board approved multiple payments tied to its wastewater treatment plant improvements and received a monthly contractor report updating the board on progress.
The board took motions and votes on contract payments for project work, including a payment of $33,891.70 to a building contractor, items recorded in the meeting minutes for John W. Danport Company and payments to K&L Plumbing & Mechanical and Triangle Electric (amounts as transcribed in the meeting record). Members called for and approved the motions during the meeting.
Representatives for the AES-contracted work told the board the project is roughly 42% complete. Contractors reported a recently discovered roofing issue on a retained building that will generate a change order, but otherwise characterized progress as steady with minimal surprises. Board members asked for continued monitoring and to see any imminent change orders before approval.
The board also received an engineering update on alternate groundwater sourcing and test-well planning from Barton & Luis, who said test wells and production decisions will depend on permit outcomes.
Board members asked staff to track change-order costs and to provide documentation for upcoming payments as the team moves toward later-stage construction milestones.
