Summary

City staff reported successful bids for all 14 construction packages for Fire Station No. 1, demolition completed and underground fuel tanks removed with tests pending; an updated completion target is November 2026 after minor utility and testing delays.

Fire Department leadership updated the West Bend Common Council on the status of the Fire Station No. 1 project, reporting successful bidders on all 14 bid packages and that demolition of the Johnson Bus building is complete. Fire Chief said underground fuel-storage tanks were removed "and the reports are that there did not seem to be any obvious contamination," while noting testing has been requested to confirm site conditions.

Of the 14 bid packages, 12 contracts are in process under CD Smith’s authorization; two packages tied to a requirement for merit-shop labor will be contracted directly by the city and brought forward later. The chief said contingencies remain intact and that rebar delivery and foundation work are expected to start soon. He noted minor schedule impacts from utility work and environmental testing and gave an updated anticipated completion date of November 2026, with the project still on pace for occupancy in 2026.

Council members asked clarifying questions; no formal action beyond receiving the update was required.
