Kalona council reviews water and sewer project designs; environmental review required before bids
Summary
Garden & Associates presented design plans for Kalona's water and sewer projects and told the council an environmental review must be completed before the water project can be advertised for bids. Council members reviewed plans and discussed next steps.
Kalona — On Jan. 7, 2026, the Kalona City Council heard design plans for the city’s upcoming water and sewer projects from Rick Teed of Garden & Associates Engineering. Teed told council members that the water project requires an environmental review before it can be put out for bids.
The presentation included plan drawings and program-level details for both water and sewer work. Council members reviewed the documents and asked staff and the engineering consultant about next steps and timing. No formal bid date was set; staff was directed to complete the required environmental review and coordinate with the engineer before advertising the water project.
The council received the designs as an informational update; no construction contracts or funding appropriations were approved at the meeting. The next procedural steps identified were completion of the environmental review, finalization of bid documents, and then returning to the council with a recommended procurement schedule.
