The Conrad city council accepted a $179,405 water main looping bid from Vieth Construction of Cedar Falls during its regular meeting last Thursday night.
           
The city received two bids total (the other came from Hatch Grading and Contracting of Dysart), and the low bid came in well under the engineer’s estimate ($220,000). Vieth will install an eight-inch loop on the south side of town. After a brief public hearing, the council voted unanimously to accept the bid.

GRUNDY CENTER – Spartan softball started the scoring early in an 11-1 win against Gladbrook-Reinbeck on Wednesday at the George Wilhelm Sports Complex.
  
After an 11-0 loss to East Marshall last Monday, Grundy Center was back at full strength after missing some members on the team that were playing in a soccer regional final with the Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck team.
  
Sydney Mathews had a hit and scored twice and Maddie McMartin added an RBI but having players like them back in the lineup was more about getting everyone in the right space defensively.

BCLUW only managed two hits off Spartans ace Mikayla Houge, but the 13th-ranked Comets were still as close as 1-0 until the seventh inning.
