MARSHALL — The Marshall City Council on Monday, Oct. 26, 2026, approved a final payment of $4,300 to Feutz Contractors for sidewalk and curb work on South 2nd Street, closing the books on a project that came in slightly under its awarded contract amount.

Green moved the payment and LeFever seconded. The minutes record the motion carrying with all council members present voting in favor; Swalls was absent.

The supporting document is an Illinois Department of Transportation Engineer’s Payment Estimate, form BLR 13230, marked “Estimate 2” with the “Final” box checked. It identifies the local public agency as the City of Marshall, the county as Clark, the route as S. 2nd Street and the section number as 26-00000-00-GM, covering the period from Sept. 7 to Oct. 21, 2026. The payable party is listed as Feutz Contractors, Inc., 1120 N Main St., Paris, IL 61944.

The form’s arithmetic is laid out line by line. The awarded contract totaled $147,680. Completed-to-date work totaled $145,736.60, which the form carries through as the total value of completed work, the balance due of completed work and the net cost of the section. Against previous payments of $141,436.60, the net amount due is $4,300 — the figure the council approved.

Two pay items ran over their awarded quantities and three ran under. The project awarded 7,850 square feet of 4-inch PCC sidewalk and completed 7,362 at $13.70 a square foot, or $100,859.40. It awarded 1,050 square feet of 6-inch PCC sidewalk and completed 1,466 at $14.20, or $20,817.20. Detectable warnings — the raised truncated-dome panels set at curb ramps — were awarded at 70 square feet and completed at 78, at $25 a square foot. Type B concrete curb was awarded at 75 feet and completed at 62, at $105 a foot. Seeding Class 1A and Mulch Method 3 were each completed at the awarded half-acre, at $6,600 and $2,000 an acre. Mobilization and a washout basin were lump-sum items at $8,800 and $2,500, both completed in full.

The form carries no miscellaneous extras, credits or debits in any of those columns. Its certification block has the first of three boxes checked, by which the local public agency certifies that the pay estimate quantities do not require submission to IDOT of a Change in Plans on form BLR 13210.

The estimate was prepared by Barbara Healy, whose title on the form is given as “Engineer,” and she signed the resident engineer line on Oct. 21, 2026. The local agency and regional engineer signature blocks are blank in the packet copy. No document in the packet states what firm or office Healy works for.
