Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Everest Excavating will be paid $34,389 for their work on the Fairlane Drive sanitary sewer project.
The Warsaw Board of Works approved the payment at its meeting Friday.
The board also approved $213,812.68 to Thomas Excavating & Welding Inc., and a change order to construct a new outfall for the wastewater treatment plant outfall projects.
After bids were received, the route of the new outfall pipe was moved to further avoid impact to the wetlands southeast of the wastewater plant. This change in pipe route resulted in more chain-link fence being removed and installed. The cost for the fence removal and replacement is $2,449.
The board also:
• Approved an Indiana Criminal Justice Institute Grant Award for $29,120 for the Beaman Home, which will be provided to the Warsaw Police Department.
• Approved $890 to Embarq for a service agreement for phone lines for the Warsaw Police Department. Embarq has not increased the cost of the line. The service agreement was due for renewal and will cover five years.

• Approved four travel requests for the wastewater treatment department and park employees.
