HOT SPRINGS, AK, MARCH 21, 2017 -- RJN Group, Inc. (RJN), a consulting engineering and specialty field services firm, is pleased to announce a new contract with the City of Hot Springs. The project, entitled Headworks and Ultraviolet Improvements Project at the Davidson Drive Wastewater Treatment Facility, has a not-to-exceed price of $8.98 million and is scheduled for substantial completion by December 2017.
