Waunakee awards $488,341.75 bid for Westbridge pond dredging, approves engineer services
Summary
The Village awarded Speedway Sand & Gravel the low bid of $488,341.75 to dredge the Westbridge wet detention basin and approved Strand task order for construction-related services to manage the work.
The Waunakee Village Board awarded the 2025 Westbridge Wet Detention Basin dredging project to Speedway Sand & Gravel for $488,341.75 and approved a task order with Strand for construction-related services.
Public Works staff said the basin required priority attention after four years of stormwater pond assessments identified Westbridge as needing earlier work. The low bid exceeded the village estimate of $300,000 due to access difficulties and site constraints; staff recommended funding the difference from savings in recent road and trail projects. The board approved the contract and also authorized Strand to provide construction management and inspection services under task order 2504.
Trustees and staff discussed neighborhood issues such as grass-clippings entering the pond and noted the work is a first-of-its-kind project for the village, with expected learning for future pond maintenance efforts.
