Board of Public Works approves contracts, equipment purchases and special-assessment resolutions in routine session
Summary
At its Jan. 20 meeting the Marshfield Board of Public Works approved a series of routine awards and resolutions including an asphalt crushing contract, equipment purchases for the cemetery and wastewater divisions, preliminary special-assessment resolutions and a right-of-way dedication for Yellowstone Drive; all motions passed by voice vote.
The Marshfield Board of Public Works approved multiple routine items by voice vote on Jan. 20. The board heard brief presentations and approved motions on contracts, equipment purchases, special-assessment preliminary resolutions and a right-of-way dedication.
Crushing and stockpiling of asphalt and concrete salvage material: Tim Rasmussen, Street Superintendent, said the street division opened proposals Jan. 10 and received three bids. Staff reported $82,000 was budgeted for the work and recommended awarding the 2025 crushing and stockpiling contract to the low bidder, PGA of Weston, Wisconsin. The board approved the award by voice vote.
Cemetery equipment (RTV) purchase: Rasmussen said the cemetery’s existing Kubota RTV (2013 model) had 3,800 hours and required replacement. Staff received a Sourcewell quote and recommended purchasing a replacement Kubota RTV through the Sourcewell program from Chile Implement Company for $22,091.22, using remaining 2024 701 internal service fund CIP balances. Staff told the board there were remaining 2024 701 CIP funds of "28,000.500" as presented in the staff materials; the board approved the purchase by voice vote.
Wastewater ATV replacement: Mark Cavella presented a recommendation to buy a 2025 CFMOTO C Force 500 ATV with plow and winch from PowerPack Equipment and Motorsports of Marshfield for $7,704.80 to replace an aging 2001 Suzuki. Staff said this purchase is listed in the CIP and was advanced from a 2026 anticipated replacement to 2025 because of mechanical issues; the board approved the purchase by voice vote.
Preliminary special-assessment resolutions: Josh Moritz, Acting Public Works Director, read lists of street and sanitary projects identified for special assessments and recommended approval of preliminary resolution 2025-04 (street projects) and 2025-05 (sanitary sewer projects, including work on Maple Avenue and Ash Avenue). The board approved both resolutions by voice vote.
Yellowstone Drive right-of-way dedication: Moritz returned a corrected dedication resolution to fix typographical errors on a prior CSM and recommended approving resolution 2025-06 to dedicate right-of-way on Yellowstone Drive near the USDA research station; the board approved the resolution by voice vote.
All motions on these items were carried by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript. No citizen comments were recorded for the meeting’s public-comment period.
