Committee approves two public-works contracts, records license and informational receipts
Summary
At its Oct. 15 meeting the Green Bay Improvement & Services Committee approved awards for traffic-signal and City Hall meeting-room contracts, recorded a sidewalk-builder license, and received informational reports on pavement planning and department activities.
The Green Bay Improvement & Services Committee on Oct. 15 voted to award two construction contracts, recorded a sidewalk-builder license report, and received informational reports from the Department of Public Works.
The committee approved a $357,220 award for a 2025 traffic-signal repair contract and a $97,190 award to renovate a first-floor meeting room at City Hall. The committee also received and placed on file a Department of Public Works report documenting the grant of a sidewalk-builder license to Earth to You LLC. All measures were approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: The traffic-signal work covers a corridor on West Mason Street and is 90% funded by a WISDA grant, reducing the city's share to about 10%. The City Hall project reallocates capital-improvement funds to expand and centralize public-facing services in the building's first floor. Recording the sidewalk-builder license allows the city to maintain contractor oversight and inspection records.
Committee action details: The agenda listed the traffic-signal contract as "award of contract traffic signal repair 2025 to Bonnard Electric Service Incorporated in the amount of $357,220." Department of Public Works staff reported receiving bids (listed in the bid packet as Boettart Electric and Elmstar Electric Corporation) and recommended award to the low bidder. The committee approved the contract by voice vote. The City Hall first-floor meeting-room contract was presented on the agenda as an award to "Frank O. Construction Company Incorporated" for $97,190; the committee approved that award by voice vote. A separate agenda item recorded the Department of Public Works' action granting a sidewalk-builder license to Earth to You LLC; the committee voted to receive and place that report on file.
Votes and procedures: Committee approval for each contract and for the receipt of the reports was by voice vote with "aye" recorded; no roll-call tallies or recorded nay votes were provided in the meeting minutes or transcript. Where the mover or seconder was not identified on the record, the committee proceeded on unanimous voice assent.
What the city said: Department of Public Works staff told the committee the traffic-signal work is part of a larger safety program coordinated with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and that the city portion is funded through the 2025 capital improvement plan and the WISDA grant. On the City Hall project, staff said the renovation is intended to centralize public-facing services on the first floor and expand meeting-room capacity.
End notes: Items approved at the committee move to the full City Council for final approval at the council's next meeting, noted in the committee as Oct. 21, 2025.
