Spencer, IA (KICD)– A project to relocate tennis courts shared by the City of Spencer and Spencer Community Schools took a big step forward on Monday with the awarding of a contract.

Engineer Jim Thiesse with Kruse, Cate and Nelson told the City Council there were three bids received for the project with the low bid being PCC Sports out of Missouri despite the contractor knowing an error was made in original calculations.

Thiesse recommended the project be awarded to PCC Sports not only because of the price but also because of the company’s experience in work in with post-tension concrete.

Thiesse added PCC Sports could start the building process on East 15th Street next to Spencer Middle School as soon as the next month or two. He notes this project does not deal with disposal of the current courts that are in need of major repair at Fairview Park.
