Commission recommends $298,273.95 construction contract for Spring Hill Pond work
Summary
The commission voted to recommend awarding a $298,273.95 contract to Integrity Grading and Excavating for grading and excavation at Spring Hill Pond (Middleton Hills southeast pond), to be forwarded to finance and common council with stormwater utility funding contingent on council budget approval.
The Middleton Conservancy Lands and Water Resources commission voted to recommend awarding a construction contract for grading and excavation at Spring Hill Pond (the southeast pond in Middleton Hills) to Integrity Grading and Excavating Inc. for $298,273.95.
An unnamed commissioner moved to recommend the award, specifying that funds would come from the stormwater utility and that the recommendation is contingent on the Common Council approving any necessary budget amendments. Another commissioner seconded the motion. Staff told the commission there were two responsive bids and that design-phase borings had been completed.
Commissioners asked whether material testing and construction observation were included in the remaining contingency; staff said geotechnical borings were done during design and that some field testing and construction observation would be expected. Members discussed the project schedule; staff estimated 45–60 days for construction and said award and contract work would likely commence this fall if needed.
Staff also described public-outreach measures: barricades will be placed and a QR code on signage will link residents to project information. A commissioner asked whether two oak trees requested for Middleton Hills were included in the bid; staff said tree plantings were not in the bid package and agreed to verify the submitted plans and report back to the commission.
Chair called a voice vote; members said "aye" and no opposition was recorded. The commission’s recommendation will be sent to the finance and personnel committee and to the Common Council for final action.
