ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

On October 22, 2007, under Roll Call Number 07-2072, the City Council awarded a contract to Herberger Construction Co., Inc., Dean Herberger, President, 2508 West 2nd Avenue, Indianola, IA, 50125 in the amount of $2,544,865, for the construction of the Dean’s Lake Storm Water Pump Station. Construction of this pump station is identified in the Dean’s Lake Flood Control Study and provides for the construction of a storm water pump station at the outlet of the Dean’s Lake Watershed to the Des Moines River. Currently during high river flows, portable-pumping operations must be initiated to pump storm water over the levee system. The pump station will provide greatly increased pumping capacity and increased reliability for the flood control system. The proposal from MidAmerican Energy provides underground electric service to the new pump station.
