Summary
The Prairie City Council unanimously approved Trunnell Excavating's $10,200 quote to repair the Family Life Center sewer on April 23, to be paid from Fire & EMS project funds; the council asked Accurate Commercial to share costs. Other contractor quotes ranged from $14,590 to $35,000.
Prairie City — The Prairie City Council voted unanimously on April 23, 2025, to award Trunnell Excavating a $10,200 contract to repair the sewer at the Family Life Center.
Mayor Pro Tem Deb Townsend moved to approve Trunnell Excavating's quote, specifying the work would be paid from Fire & EMS project funds and that the council would request Accurate Commercial to share the cost; Councilmember Beth James seconded and the motion passed on a roll-call vote.
The council recorded competing quotes in the meeting minutes: Crossroads Pipe and Plumbing quoted $14,590; Advanced Plumbing quoted $14,590.52; DK Plumbing & Excavating quoted $14,750; and Van Ryswyk Plumbing quoted $35,000. The Trunnell quote of $10,200 was the lowest on record in the minutes.
Direction recorded in the minutes assigns Public Works to notify Trunnell Excavating and to pursue a cost-sharing request with Accurate Commercial. The minutes list the award and funding source but do not include a signed contract or a work schedule; those follow-up items were marked as implementation tasks for Public Works.
