Scott City awards Main Street sidewalk and Magnolia Ridge entrance repairs to Kluesner Construction
Summary
Council awarded two construction contracts to Kluesner Construction: a Main Street sidewalk and walk-bridge project for $37,750 and repairs at Magnolia Ridge Drive for $59,600. Both projects will be paid from Street Funds; the MoDOT sidewalk grant is closed and not available for the Main Street work.
The Scott City Council on Feb. 2 approved two public-works contracts with Kluesner Construction for sidewalk and street repairs paid from the city’s Street Funds.
For the Main Street sidewalk project the council considered two bids—Kluesner Construction for $37,750 and Legacy Concrete for $38,747. City Administrator Dustin Whitworth told the council the work includes replacing the walk bridge, extending the head wall beneath the bridge and adding rip rap; Whitworth said the city cannot use the closed MoDOT sidewalk grant for this work. Council Member Victor Phillips moved to award the contract to Kluesner Construction; Council Member Mike Rhymer seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous among members present.
The council also considered two bids to fix water flowing across the entrance to Magnolia Ridge Subdivision: Kluesner Construction bid $59,600 and Legacy Concrete bid $121,140. The project will tie in at the hill’s end and direct water to the storm grate to prevent surface runoff across the entrance. Whitworth said the work will be funded with Street Funds and that there are no restrictions preventing use of Street or Capital funds for the project. Council awarded the Magnolia Ridge contract to Kluesner Construction on a unanimous voice vote.
Why it matters: both projects are intended to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety—repairing a walk bridge on Main Street and addressing a recurring surface-water problem at a subdivision entrance.
What happens next: Kluesner Construction is to proceed with the two projects as awarded; specific start dates and completion timelines were not specified in the meeting minutes.
Provenance: contract bids, funding discussion, and awards recorded in New Business (SEG 002).
