Board approves Yellowstone Drive water‑main plans, authorizes bid solicitation
Summary
The Board of Public Works approved final plans and authorized staff to solicit bids for a roughly 200‑foot water‑main extension and sewer lateral work tied to the NextGen Agronomy development; bids are scheduled to open July 9 with construction planned to start in August.
The Marshfield Board of Public Works on June 17 approved final plans and authorized staff to solicit bids for the Yellowstone Drive Water Main Extension, a short extension of water main and a sewer lateral tied to the NextGen Agronomy development.
Josh Morrow, a city staff member, told the board the project includes about 200 feet of water main extension, directional boring to avoid a building cut under Yellowstone Drive and a sewer lateral extension onto the NextGen property. The plans are posted on the Quest bidding website for contractors to view and bid.
Morrow outlined a schedule the board discussed: a bid opening on July 9, a recommendation of the lowest bidder to the Board of Public Works on July 15, City Council consideration on July 22, and anticipated construction start in early to mid‑August with a targeted completion date of Sept. 1. Morrow recommended approval of the plans and authorization to solicit bids; the board approved the recommendation by voice vote and the motion carried.
The board did not record a detailed discussion in the meeting transcript. The project stems from a development agreement with NextGen Agronomy and carries the usual dependence on competitive bids and subsequent council approval before construction can begin.
Board action at the meeting authorized staff to move the project into the procurement phase; final award and construction timing will depend on bid results and council approval.
