Staff said they expect delivery to be completed slightly ahead of schedule, potentially by the end of next week.

Staff also said the city’s new hauler, referred to in the meeting as “John’s,” is scheduled to begin picking up garbage on March 31. Waste Management is planning to collect remaining old carts through the last two weeks of March; residents who still have an old cart after the transition were asked to notify the Department of Public Works via the report-of-concern form or by email so the city can coordinate with Waste Management.

In addition, staff listed several planned bid closings and large projects, noting the 2025 asphalt street resurfacing project, an Area 7 flood mitigation project and the Clean Water Plant Phase 3 improvements are expected to have bid closings on March 14. Staff asked residents to continue using existing waste-management carts until the new system’s pickup start date.

The board noted the items for the record and adjourned.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Waukesha - Board of Public Works on 2025-03-06 5:30 PM - Mar 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Public Works reported approximately 60% of new garbage carts had been delivered and that the city’s new hauler will begin pickups on March 31; staff also noted several large projects with bid closings on March 14.","taxTitle","Waukesha City, Waukesha County, Wisconsin","taxId",9326,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6647522,"Board approves low bids for concrete patching and two traffic-signal improvements",60,2572000,2632000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2522210-127eb132eb6ce906d1217254b31c4895&start=2572&end=2632","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2522210-127eb132eb6ce906d1217254b31c4895/thumbnail_2572000.jpg","/articles/6647522/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Board-approves-low-bids-for-concrete-patching-and-two-traffic-signal-improvements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6647522-36c78087a637bc789510c138337caa99/orig.mp4?Expires=1777580601&Signature=Q8V5ot3F~llHUvvVazj1MMcXBujxa-TGi2NhQIMFjNLZshQJxDQVCBBTaxLE3Mfzf8orrcTzGjlOib4SSfc--6-Y8ssUmyNuUA~Y2qzSMLCMXE6aSGmr7YBzh3NCTy2RVzSFu2qum-mXwPKD~UKnMZQSYm9sPcfWd4cERMWEs2SeUs9Xgtq672ydK0RQOm-~P8HYX7DBPfCeMRxGSI2pqnalmueJmOKhx292Lzr5tXZCS4fW3nvQ4KKxIOmx6i0DsRlJNet~uvCz~9IQSvxjVGB1w6tdQuqTL8baOibDiTJNX-1oooYdhE7X-EpUMOIQ02IPTENyvnI6gWqrodNbjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Waukesha City Board of Public Works recommended awarding two construction contracts after opening competitive bids: Wandell Contractors for the concrete pavement patching and sign project at $681,597.50, and Zenith Tech for the West Sunset Drive and Oakdale Drive traffic-signal improvement project at $393,889.30.

Staff reported five bids were received for the concrete pavement patching and sign project and recommended the low bidder, Wandell Contractors, for $681,597.50. Payne moved to recommend award and Kevin Riley seconded; the board voted unanimously to approve the recommendation.

For the West Sunset Drive and Oakdale Drive signal project, staff reported two bids and recommended the low bid from Zenith Tech for $393,889.30. A motion and second were made and the board voted to recommend award. During discussion staff noted that a related project with a neighboring town remains delayed pending additional input from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

Both motions passed with recorded ayes from Cassin, Kevin Riley, Piper, O'Donnell and Payne.

The recommendation followed a public hearing in which multiple Silvernail Road residents urged the board to reduce costs, extend terms, or postpone the sewer installation. Residents said they received short notice of the assessment, described fixed incomes and other immediate costs, and asked whether federal or philanthropic grants could lower their bills.

At the hearing, resident Christine Garlock said the assessment initially presented to homeowners had been higher and asked, “are there any grants for the 11 property owners along Silvernail Road to help break this down even lower than it already is?” Several other residents described hardship: one said the assessment had been reduced “down to about $18,000 at 5% interest” and called that unaffordable; another, Mike Plummer, said, “I oppose — I do not want the sanitary system on there,” citing retirement and inability to absorb additional costs.

City staff told residents they were not aware of any grant programs specifically for installing sanitary sewer on the street and said the city continually monitors federal and state funding. Staff also noted that the preliminary assessment and its terms had been set earlier in the process and that the Board and Common Council had already reduced the originally proposed terms. In response to resident requests for relief, a board member moved to recommend the Common Council adopt a final assessment with a 15-year repayment period at 2% interest; another member seconded. The board voted 5–0 to adopt the recommendation and forward it to council. Recorded ayes were Cassin, Kevin Riley, Piper, O'Donnell and Payne.

Board members and staff emphasized the board’s authority is recommending; the Common Council must confirm the final resolution. Staff also cautioned that longer terms can increase total interest paid over the life of an assessment; one staff member offered a rough estimate that the board’s proposed 15‑year at 2% terms would reduce monthly payments by roughly $75 compared with the then-proposed 10‑year, 5% scenario (staff characterized that as high-level math, not a formal amortization calculation).

During public comment residents also raised related technical questions: whether future water main installation was planned (staff said the water utility does not intend to extend water main for this section), whether property owners would be charged for sewer service before they physically connected (staff said they would not be billed until they tied in and used the service), and what lateral costs might be (contractor estimates discussed in the hearing suggested small-lateral starter estimates and that per-foot costs decline with length; exact homeowner lateral costs were described as “not specified” for each property).

The board’s action is recorded as a recommendation to the Common Council; the council must confirm the final assessment and terms before they become binding on property owners. The preliminary resolution and the council’s earlier action on the preliminary resolution were cited during the discussion (preliminary resolution adopted earlier in the process and referred to the council on 02/04/2025).","After a public hearing in which Silvernail Road residents pressed the board on affordability and notice, the Waukesha Board of Public Works voted to recommend the Common Council adopt a final resolution spreading a special assessment for sanitary sewer over 15 years at 2 percent interest. The council must still confirm the recommendation.","actionData","errors"]
