Pewaukee awards City Hall interior renovation contract to Bear Construction for $975,449
Summary
Council awarded a $975,449 contract to Bear Construction for City Hall interior alterations, discussed funding from a $1M borrowing (current balance $936,044) and planning details including unisex accessible bathrooms, a deck and potential change orders; motion to award carried.
Council reviewed bids and discussed awarding the City Hall interior alteration contract to the lowest qualified bidder, Bear Construction Company, for $975,449. The amount is below the $1 million threshold that would trigger a voter referendum, as noted during discussion.
Council members reviewed project scope items raised in staff materials, including a proposed outdoor deck adjacent to the staff lunchroom, placement and design of unisex/accessible restrooms to handle seasonal and handicap access requirements, and tuckpointing work that staff said was included in the bid price. One council member asked whether the unisex design could be labeled initially and changed later if public reaction required it; staff said the facilities would be built to allow flexible signage.
Finance discussion noted the city borrowed $1 million for the remodel and that the balance to date stood at $936,044; staff estimated about $39,405 might need to be reallocated to complete this portion of the project if additional design expenses are required. Staff also said the design fees (in the tens of thousands) have already been incurred. Questions about remaining leaks on a different section of the building and a planned reroof project were raised but not resolved at the meeting.
A motion to award the contract and address contingency funding if needed was moved and seconded; council approved the award by voice vote.
