Council Defers Action on Sewer Project

OGDEN, Iowa---The Ogden City Council has deferred action on a bid received for a planned sanitary sewer rehabilitation project. The low bid for the work was submitted by Municipal Pipe and Tool from Hudson, Iowa. The bid exceeded the project cost by about $40,000. One portion of the bid, a one-block section of open digging was actually over half the project cost. Council members will wait until a review can be done by Fox Engineering and the Community Block Grant Administrator. A special meeting yet this month might allow the project to move ahead.
