Berne, LICA sign for more sewer work

Decatur Daily Democrat:

Berne City Council on Monday officially signed a contract with LICA LLC for continued improvements to the city's sanitary sewer collection system. The local firm's bid of $789,627 was accepted in April as the lowest of nine submitted for the work. The engineering estimate for the project was $925,000.

The construction is being partially funded through a $960,000 grant received by the city last fall. Federal Community Development Block Grant funds for disaster recovery were made available to aid communities in economic recovery after natural disasters caused damage in many areas across the state during 2008.
