Spencer, IA (KICD)– Construction season looks to be getting closer to kicking off in the City of Spencer with the awarding of a bid for an overlay project by the City Council.

Engineer Ross McWhirter with Kruse, Cate and Nelson Engineering told the council on Monday the low bid, like several others in the recent past came in below the estimated cost.

No exact timetable was laid out as far as when construction work will begin.
