Wausau Board of Public Works goes into closed session, then approves prequalified bidders for asphalt patching
Summary
The board entered a closed session under Wisconsin statute language cited in the meeting to consider prequalification statements for the '24 asphalt patching project' and afterward approved Zillich Asphalt, American Asphalt and RC Pavers as prequalified bidders for a '25 asphalt patching project'.
The Wausau Board of Public Works moved into a closed session Tuesday under Section 19.85 of the Wisconsin Statutes to consider and deliberate on prequalification statements for the "24 asphalt patching project," then returned and approved three prequalified bidders for an asphalt patching project identified in the record as the "25 asphalt patching project."
Speaker 1, Chair, Board of Public Works, made the motion to enter closed session "pursuant section 19 85 D of Wisconsin Statues for the purpose of considering and deliberating on pre qualification statements for 24 asphalt patching project," and Speaker 2 seconded. The board voted "Aye." The transcript records that after the closed session the board approved the following prequalified bidders: Zillich Asphalt, American Asphalt and RC Pavers. Speaker 1 moved to approve the prequalifications; Speaker 2 seconded; both members voted "Aye." The motion passed.
The board did not provide additional details in the recorded discussion about the criteria used to prequalify bidders, the number of applicants considered, or whether the prequalification list applies to a 2024 or 2025 project beyond the labels used in the meeting record. The transcript records the board citing Wisconsin statute language to justify the closed session but does not specify the exact statutory subsection beyond the wording used in the meeting.
