Board of Public Works approves routine payments and licenses, OKs $17,500 amendment for traffic signal plats and moves to closed session
Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting the Board of Public Works approved several payments and contractor licenses, authorized a $17,500 amendment to Ayers Associates for transportation plats tied to two Grand Avenue signal projects, and voted to enter closed session to deliberate claims under Wisconsin statute.
The Board of Public Works approved a series of routine infrastructure payments and contractor licenses and authorized an amendment to a traffic‑signal design contract at its meeting Tuesday, Feb. 3.
Speaker 1 presented a consultant‑reviewed pay estimate No. 4 for the Cherry Street lift station replacement in the amount of $72,485; Speaker 2 moved to approve the minutes and then the board approved the pay estimate after aye votes were recorded. The board also approved a final payment of $11,035.71 to PGA Incorporated for the 2025 Athletic Park parking lot and granted two contractor licenses as presented in the agenda.
On a separate item the board approved a $17,500 amendment to Ayers Associates’ contract to provide a transportation plat (TPP) for two signal projects at Grand Avenue and Townline Road and at Grand Avenue and Sturgeon Eddy Road. Speaker 3 said the project team needs to move signal bases behind the sidewalk and that the TPP is required because the projects are on state Department of Transportation routes. "So I'd recommend we use Ayres to, to perform the work to provide us a transportation plat for these projects," Speaker 3 said. The board recorded aye votes on the motion to approve the amendment.
Speaker 1 noted that the agreement with Becker Hoppe and Associates will be brought to finance because it exceeds $25,000 and therefore will require a sole‑source authorization; no formal action on that agreement was recorded at the meeting. The board concluded the public portion of the meeting by voting to enter a closed session "pursuant to Wisconsin statute 19 85 1 g" for the purpose of deliberating on claims; the motion passed on recorded aye votes.
The meeting included routine approvals and a single contract amendment that the board characterized as necessary to secure right‑of‑way/platting work for two DOT signal projects. Follow‑up actions noted in the meeting record include bringing the Becker Hoppe agreement to finance for sole‑source consideration and proceeding with the Ayers amendment work as approved.
