Transit commission approves feasibility-study contract, staff to take it to finance and council
Summary
The transit commission approved a feasibility-study contract estimated at about $47,200 and authorized staff to take the contract to the finance committee and common council for final action.
The transit commission unanimously approved a contract to complete a feasibility study for a transit project and authorized staff to forward the contract to the finance committee and common council.
Staff member (S3) said the RFP process was completed with the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and that the contract had been scored and finalized. "I think it's $47,200, and I just need permission to take this to the finance committee into common council so we can move forward with this RFP," S3 said.
The request included a brief exchange about labeling on the RFP: Commissioner (S2) asked that the document reference "Wausau Area Transit" instead of "Metroride." S3 said the agency uses both names and could ask for the change but did not consider it material to proceeding.
Commissioner (S2) moved to accept the feasibility-study contract; the chair called the question and the motion passed unanimously. The transcript records the approval but does not include a recorded roll-call tally or individual votes.
The commission will next present the contract to the finance committee and then to the common council for final approval and execution.
