Atkinson council approves Change Order #2 for water main work, cites remaining ARPA funds
Summary
The Atkinson City Council approved Change Order #2 to continue replacement of the North Hill Street water line with Rutjens Construction, noting approximately $168,529 remains from a 2021 ARPA grant to fund the work.
The Atkinson City Council approved Change Order #2 for the Atkinson Water Main Project and directed work to continue on the North Hill Street water line with Rutjens Construction. Council member Helen Olson moved the change order and Jerry Osborne seconded; the motion carried by roll-call vote.
Council members noted roughly $168,529 remains from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant received in 2021 and indicated the funds would be used to advance the water-line replacement. The change order authorizes continuing the replacement work; the minutes do not provide the full text of the change order or an itemized breakdown of remaining contract contingencies.
The minutes also record a separate water-quality note that 'Fluoride cannot be legally eliminated from the water system.' That statement appears without an attributed speaker in the minutes and was recorded as a factual point during the meeting.
