The Pella City Council approved a contract for east interchange infrastructure improvements at their meeting Tuesday evening.

Council approved a bid submitted by Synergy Contracting, LLC. for $696,709, which came in below the engineers’ estimate for construction of a submersible lift station and associated improvements south of Highway 163 on 250th Avenue.

A contract and bond for $1.273 million was also approved for approximately 2,000 service drops for Pella Fiber to be installed by the end of October.

Council also scheduled two public hearings for future meetings, including a date to approve a contract for Wonder Spelen at Kiwanis Park and for an amendment to the Urban Renewal Plan with Lely North America for their new headquarters. Both will be considered on March 2nd.
