Summary
The Village Board approved three public-works contract orders April 7: an 8-inch relay for MacArthur Drive ($1,324,942), an Elm/Elmo Drive water main relay and Town Hall Road storm-sewer project ($404,427.50, awarded to Mid City), and the 2025 curb/gutter/sidewalk project ($152,192.25). All passed unanimously.
The Menomonee Falls Village Board approved three contract orders for Utilities and Public Works projects during the April 7 meeting.
MacArthur Drive water-main relay (Project No. 72098): The board approved a contract to replace an existing 6-inch sand-cast main with a new 8-inch main between Village Hall property and Patricia Place. The board recorded a contract price of $1,324,942, below the 2025 capital budget engineer estimate of about $1,800,000. Trustees noted the existing sand-cast main has reached the end of its useful service life. The board approved the contract unanimously.
Elmo/Elmwood Drive water-main relay and Town Hall Road storm sewer (Project Nos. 72099 and 41258): The board approved replacement of existing 6-inch water mains with new 8-inch PVC mains in Elmwood Drive and Shady Lane to Hoyt Drive and awarded the contract (base bid $404,427.50) to Mid City. Trustees said the section of water main has experienced six breaks over the past five years. The contract award passed unanimously.
2025 curb, gutter and sidewalk construction (Project Nos. 41256/41257): The board awarded the ongoing program of catch-basin adjustments, curb-and-gutter and sidewalk replacements to State Contractors for $152,192.25, well under the engineer's estimate of $250,000. The work covers multiple village locations and was approved unanimously.
Materials and scope notes: Trustees and staff said the projects move from older sand-cast mains to PVC for water mains; HDPE may be used in sump-pump or related work. The MacArthur Drive project call specified an 8-inch replacement to improve longevity and system capacity.
Why it matters: Replacing aging water mains and repairing curb, gutter and sidewalk addresses service reliability and public-infrastructure maintenance. The Elmo/Elmwood section with multiple recent breaks was prioritized.
What the board decided: The three contract orders were approved unanimously; staff will proceed with contract execution and construction scheduling.
