Summary
At the Nov. 6 meeting the Waukesha City Board of Public Works approved minutes from Oct. 23 and a batch of payments, and it approved two contracts: a multi‑year traffic engineering contract (TADI) and a seasonal snow‑removal contract (Jake’s Landscaping). All items were approved by voice vote.
The Waukesha City Board of Public Works completed several routine and substantive votes at its Nov. 6 meeting.
Minutes and payments: The board approved the Oct. 23 minutes (motion by Behn; second by Kevin R.; voice vote recorded as all ayes). The board approved a set of 10 payments (two of them final payments for a pump station and a concrete pavement patching project); Piper moved to approve and the board carried the payments by voice vote.
Contract approvals: The board approved two contract actions discussed in the meeting.
- Traffic engineering project‑management services (Item 6A): staff recommended awarding to TADI after receiving three proposals. The award is sized at an estimated 1,300 consultant hours per year and a combined operating and CIP estimate of roughly $222,000. Motion to recommend was moved by Payne and seconded by Piper; board approved by voice vote.
- Snow and ice removal services (Item 6B): staff recommended contracting high‑priority park/rec routes to a vendor (Jake’s Landscaping) for an approximate lump sum of $45,000 for the season (applies to events over 0.5 inch); the contract includes hourly rates for additional calls and directs use of the city’s salt. The board approved the seasonal contract by voice vote.
Votes recorded in the meeting were voice roll calls with ayes recorded by board members; no failed votes were recorded.
