Wessington Springs Council approves $361,655 in contractor payments for water and sewer projects
Summary
Council approved pay requests totaling $361,655. (Rural Water: $175,159.26; Watermain: $156,604.50; Sewer lagoon: $29,891.85) and carried related change order for the rural water project.
The Wessington Springs City Council on June 1 approved three contractor pay requests tied to ongoing water and sewer infrastructure work.
Kari Fagerhaug moved, seconded by Shawn Tobin, to approve pay request #1 to Feistner Gravel & Excavation in the amount of $175,159.26 for the Rural Water Project; the motion passed 5-0. Council also approved a pay request #1 to Holstein Excavating Inc. for $156,604.50 for the Watermain Project (motion by Scott Vaske, seconded by Fagerhaug) and a pay request to Dahme Construction for $29,891.85 for the sewer lagoon project (motion by Fagerhaug, seconded by Tobin). All three motions carried with recorded votes of Ayes: 5, Nays: 0.
The approvals advance work on two capital projects and the lagoon improvement. Council additionally approved Change Order #2 for the Rural Water Project — $640.06 to add a service line in the park — on a motion by Fagerhaug, seconded by Scott Vaske. The council heard an update from Camden Hofer of SPN on the status of the rural water, watermain and lagoon projects earlier in the meeting.
The agenda and minutes list the contractors and amounts in the vendor register. The council record contains an inconsistent spelling of the watermain contractor in the prepaid ledger (appearing as both “Holstein Excavating Inc.” and “Hulstein Excavating LLC”); council staff should confirm the vendor/legal entity spelling before final invoicing.
