Key actions included assessments for 2023 sidewalk repairs and improvements, an update to water and sewer rates and surcharges, and a construction change order at the municipal airport.

Sidewalk assessments
The commission adopted two resolutions to levy assessments for 2023 sidewalk projects. The sidewalk repair assessments total $25,815.60 (to be added to property taxes) and the sidewalk improvement assessments (new sidewalks/ADA ramps) total $49,749. Both resolutions were adopted by motion and vote.

Water and sewer rates
The commission approved Resolution 2025-22 updating water, sewer and sewage disposal fees to incorporate surcharges related to the 2022 SRF project. Staff said the surcharges will begin appearing on bills starting with the October billing cycle (September usage). Staff also indicated the commission intends to review rate resolutions annually, likely each January, and that surcharges for future projects such as the Eagan Avenue project will be considered in the January review.

Airport change order
Change order number 1 for the airport project (reconstruct hangar taxi lanes, Airport Drive and a parking lot) was approved. The change adds approximately 742 square yards of seal coat to the work and increases the city's cost by about $5,300. Staff said the cost will be split between the FAA AIP grant and the SD DOT grant and that both agencies reviewed and deemed the change eligible for grant cost share; the city's share this year is 2.5% (about $133).

Other actions
The commission approved consent items, accepted staff updates, and moved into executive session at the end of the public meeting.

Jamieson, a city staff member, said the MOU was intended to help residents on the west side of Eagan who lack alley access and therefore would otherwise face parking challenges during construction. The agreement covers diagonal parking on the East Side of Eagan in the block between Sixth and Eighth and is intended to be temporary during the 2026 work.

Why it matters: The Eagan Avenue reconstruction will remove curbside spaces during construction and could limit access for residents who do not have alley access; the MOU provides a proximate temporary parking option and reduces reliance on side streets.

Implementation and limits
Jamieson said the city will provide residents a map and notifications to clarify where the temporary parking will be available; staff also indicated they will coordinate signage with the contractor if needed. On sequencing, Jamieson said Phase 3A covers the west side first, followed by Phase 3B on the east side.

University access and timing
When asked whether the university would allow continued use if construction runs into the academic term, Jamieson said, “My understanding is that Dakota State would need that parking back when school starts. So if construction were to run late, this parking would not be available.” The city’s plan relies on completing the relevant phase prior to the start of the academic term.

Next steps
The commission approved the MOU by motion and vote. Staff will notify affected residents and work with the contractor on signage and parking management.

Jamieson, a city staff member, told commissioners the engineer’s estimate for the building was approximately $600,000 and that the low bid of $547,434 came in below that estimate. Only two bids were received; staff noted a third electronic submission did not meet the city’s bid-opening requirements and could not be honored.

Why it matters: The control enclosure is a principal component of the city’s new substation. Staff said the enclosed building is “all inclusive” of interior panels, tracking, lights and HVAC but does not include the switchgear equipment.

Scope and procurement details
Mike (identified in the meeting as Mike McGilvray) explained the enclosure will include every electrical panel required on the walls, lighting, HVAC and a basement for medium-voltage cable access. The basement will be built on-site, staff said. Jamieson said the enclosure will be delivered in two sections and set on-site; switchgear is not part of this award.

Bidding context
Commissioners asked why so few bids were received compared with other recent public works projects. Jamieson said one bid arrived electronically and was not opened at the public bid opening per the city’s submittal rules; another prospective bidder appears to be an East Coast firm that may not have been interested. The low bid from Tract T LLC was within the city’s procurement rules and below the engineer’s estimate.

Next steps
The commission approved the contract award by motion and vote. Staff will coordinate contract execution and on-site delivery; installation details and schedule were not specified at the meeting.

City staff said the gym floor suffered extensive water damage after a roof fire earlier this year and that the roofing contractor’s insurance is negotiating with the city’s insurer to cover the portion of damage deemed appropriate. Jamieson, a city staff member, told commissioners the floor was already near the end of its useful life and that the water infiltration “caused it to buckle in quite a substantial size on that north side.”

Why it matters: The Armory gym floor is currently not usable, staff said, and replacement is expected to be more efficient as a single full-floor project rather than piecemeal repairs. Setting the bid opening begins the procurement process and will produce firm cost estimates that the commission can use to identify funding sources.

Staff background and schedule
Jamieson said the damage occurred when crews responding to a roof fire used water that later migrated underneath the wood floor; attempts to vacuum and air-dry the floor did not remove water from beneath the boards. The city will advertise and accept bids with an opening on Sept. 18, 2025. Ryan, a city staff member involved in bid preparation, said the city hopes to have contractors mobilized in early October and to complete work by Thanksgiving if the schedule holds.

Insurance and scope
Jamieson said the roofing contractor’s insurer and the city’s insurer are negotiating which portion of the replacement will be covered. “I don’t have that on hand right now,” Jamieson said when asked for specifics of coverage. Jamieson also told the commission, “I believe it’d be the entire floor. Entire floor,” when asked whether the entire surface would be replaced.

Extent of damage
Ryan described the floor condition as severe and widespread: “It’s probably buckled up as 6 inches in spots. And that’s pretty widespread. It’s all over the court. It’s not isolated to one area.” Because of that condition, staff said it is not reasonable to replace only a small portion of the floor.

Next steps
The commission approved the bid-opening date by motion and vote. Staff will return with bid results and a cost estimate; commissioners indicated they will consider funding sources once bids are known.

Votes at the meeting
The motion to set the bid opening for Sept. 18, 2025, passed (vote recorded as unanimous during the meeting).","The Madison City Commission voted to open bids Sept. 18, 2025, to replace the Armory gymnasium floor after water damage during a roof fire.
