Weston committee approves landfill monitoring, construction change orders and inspection contract
Summary
The committee approved continuing landfill gas and groundwater monitoring, final change orders for Schofield and East Jelnick projects, and a construction-inspection contract for Granite Ridge; most votes were voice votes and several items were noted as contingent on technical corrections or reimbursement filings.
At its Jan. 12 meeting the Village of Weston Public Works Committee approved several routine but consequential items: continuation of landfill gas-extraction and groundwater monitoring services, final change orders closing two road projects, and a construction-inspection contract for a new subdivision.
Landfill monitoring: staff recommended continuing services (MiTech / previously Central Wisconsin Engineers) to ensure compliance with DNR requirements for the closed landfill (now a dog park). The committee approved the service continuation; the packet listed a $30,000 budget appropriation and a $23,003.50 contract amount within that budget.
Schofield Avenue: staff described Change Order No. 1 as a final balancing change that included an extra $10,000 on one bid item due to an incorrectly reported TAC code number. The motion approving the change order included language making final payment contingent on correcting the TAC code and finalizing the number; the committee approved the contingent motion by voice vote.
East Jelnick Avenue: Change Order No. 4 closed out the East Jelnick project with a net overrun reported at about $26,017.46, mainly from rock excavation for sanitary sewer work; the committee approved finalizing the contract price ($2,353,207.49 as reported in the packet) by voice vote.
Granite Ridge subdivision inspection: the committee approved awarding construction inspection to Vreeland Associates, with the developer reimbursing the village for inspection costs; staff requested that Vreeland provide resumes and identify on-site personnel. The committee approved a budgeted contract range of about $53,000—$55,000.
Provenance: each of these items was presented by staff and approved during the meeting (landfill SEG 1300—SEG 1343; Schofield SEG 1356—SEG 1419; East Jelnick SEG 1420—SEG 1465; Granite Ridge SEG 1467—SEG 1560).
