PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The purpose of W.O. 12-31 Phase I Yegen Drain Improvements is to add stormwater capacity to the Yegen Drain from Minnesota Avenue to the outfall in the Yellowstone River.

The bid award was delayed at the May 26th council meeting since bids were opened the same day as the Council meeting. The City received two bids and Western Municipal submitted the lowest responsible bid.
