Monona council approves Nichols Road design amendment, hears first reading of streets project contract
Summary
Council approved a contract amendment extending design dates for Nichols Road reconstruction with Strand Associates and heard a first reading for a construction-management amendment with MSA totaling $223,550 for the 2026 Streets Improvement Project.
Monona — The City Council voted to amend a design contract with Strand Associates for Nichols Road reconstruction and took up a first reading of a separate amendment for construction‑management services on the 2026 Streets Improvement Project.
Public works director explained the Nichols Road amendment adjusts contract dates because the city deferred design and construction. He said the amendment extends planned specifications and estimates (PS&E) dates from 11/01/2025 to 11/01/2028 and shifts the design phase end date accordingly; the amendment was described as contingent on Public Works committee approval. Council moved the item out of order, then approved the resolution; the transcript records the motion as carrying with an "8‑0" voice vote.
On the 2026 Streets Improvement Project, the council heard a first read of a contract amendment with MSA for construction management services. Public works staff said the amendment amount is $223,550, which falls within the project's capital budget allocation of $225,000, and that the work includes construction administration, staking and observation. Bids for construction were reported as due Feb. 12, and staff said they expect to return the item for formal approval in March.
Outcome: Resolution to amend the Strand design contract for Nichols Road was approved; MSA amendment was presented as a first reading and will return for vote.
