Marshfield board approves RFP to hire real estate acquisition firm for West Fifth Street reconstruction
Summary
The Marshfield Board of Public Works voted to authorize an RFP to secure full-service real estate acquisition services for the West Fifth Street reconstruction project between Oak Avenue and Chestnut Avenue; the board also approved routine minutes and adjourned.
The Marshfield Board of Public Works voted to authorize a request for proposals to hire a real estate acquisition firm for the West Fifth Street reconstruction project between Oak Avenue and Chestnut Avenue.
Acting Public Director Josh Morrow told the board the city has five Department of Transportation-funded projects in the pipeline and needs outside acquisition services to obtain easements and, in some cases, fee interest. He said the RFP in the board packet seeks full-service real estate acquisition work, including appraisals, owner negotiations and preparation of final easement documents. The board approved the RFP and authorized staff to solicit proposals.
At the same meeting the board approved minutes from its Oct. 7, 2025 session and then adjourned. All three items were handled by motion and voice vote; the transcript records the votes as "aye" and notes the motions carried, but it does not list a numerical roll-call tally or name which members voted.
The RFP is framed as the first round of acquisition services for the city's DOT-funded projects. The board did not discuss selection criteria, budget for acquisition services, or a procurement timeline during the recorded remarks; staff was authorized to publish the RFP and solicit responses.
No public commenters spoke on the item during the recorded citizen comment period. The meeting concluded shortly after the RFP vote with a motion to adjourn.
