Marshfield staff outline engineering contract for Vine Avenue/State-funded reconstruction; city share roughly $78,000
Summary
Staff said a state-funded reconstruction project (total cost about $2.7 million) requires engineering work now; the city's 20% share of engineering is approximately $78,000 and a firm identified in the staff memo was recommended.
Marshfield staff described plans to hire engineering services for a state-funded reconstruction project covering Vine Avenue (Second Street to Fourth Street) and related segments, with staff estimating a total project cost around $2.7 million and the city’s share of engineering roughly 20% (about $78,000).
Steve Barg described the work as a state project that will rely on state funding referred to in the staff memo; he said the city is responsible for some engineering costs and that staff recommend awarding the engineering contract to the firm identified in the memo. Barg said reconstruction of Fourth Street between Maple and Peach is planned for 2028 and that design work typically begins two to three years prior to construction.
Barg noted that the city has limited staff capacity for complex state-level projects and that contracting the engineering now will allow the project to meet state standards and timelines. Staff said the recommended contract and funding details will come to council for approval.
