Monona approves $223,550 contract amendment with MSA for 2026 street improvements

On Feb. 2, 2026, the Monona City meeting approved Resolution 26-2-2859, a contract amendment with MSA to add construction management services to the 2026 Street Improvements Project. The amendment amount was stated in the transcript as $223,550 and was described as fitting within the city’s capital budget.

The speaker who introduced the item (identified in the transcript as Unidentified Speaker 2) said the original contract covered design work and that ‘‘there was some alterations to the design, due to the delays the past few years’’ which prompted the amendment and the addition of construction management services. Unidentified Speaker 2 stated, "The amendment amount is $223,550," and said the request would be reviewed by the Public Works committee at its upcoming Wednesday meeting.

Council action was taken by motion and voice vote. A motion to approve the resolution was made, seconded and recorded by voice as ‘‘aye’’ by both speakers present; the motion carried. Meeting participants also discussed whether immediate administrative approval was being requested and confirmed follow-up steps to transmit the amendment to Public Works for further review.

The resolution and contract amendment were presented as administrative and budgeted items; no public comment was recorded on the measure during the meeting. The transcript refers to the project in connection with the name ‘‘Odeon Watson Street improvement project’’ (as spoken in the meeting). The city staff member who presented the item said the amendment amount ‘‘meets the amount we have in the capital budget for these services.’’

Next steps: the amendment will also be placed on the Public Works agenda for review; the transcript does not record additional committee actions or final construction approvals beyond this motion to approve the amendment.
