Kewanee moves forward with downtown reconstruction engineering despite reduced scope
Summary
Council approved an engineering services agreement with Hutchison Engineering for Phase III construction engineering on the downtown reconstruction project; the $3 million DCEO grant awarded earlier remains but the project scope has been reduced due to higher costs. Vote was 4-0.
The city authorized Hutchison Engineering, Inc. to provide Phase III construction engineering services for the downtown reconstruction project.
Officials noted the project was originally tied to a $3 million DCEO grant but rising costs forced a smaller scope than initially planned. Hutchison staff will be on site frequently and will coordinate across multiple city projects; the council approved the agreement 4-0.
Minutes state that the agreement reflects earlier quoted amounts from when the scope was larger, but that does not guarantee Hutchison’s final payment given a reduced project scope and future change orders.
