Summary
On Nov. 24 the Board approved Tri City Contractors’ prequalification at $23,112,815 and three construction payment items, and it referred a sign‑refacing request at 603 Cash St. for one week to get building‑inspection clarity.
At its Nov. 24 meeting the La Crosse Board of Public Works approved several procurement and contract items and handled a downtown sign‑refacing request.
Director Matt Gallagher read a bidder’s proof for Tri City Contractors Inc. of Bloomer, Wis., for prequalification in the amount of $23,112,815; the board approved the prequalification unanimously.
The board also approved three construction contract payment items unanimously: a structure demolition at 55 Copeland Ave for Dirt Monkey; a planning/design agreement for 6th Street reconstruction with Mead & Hunt; and work on Onalaska/Moore Street with Gerke Excavating Inc.
On a separate item, a street‑privilege request to reface an existing double‑sided pylon sign at 603 Cash Street (MLMAA LLC) was discussed. Members asked whether the sign had been through building inspection and whether a permit is required. Council Member Goggin moved to refer the item for one week so staff could provide additional information; Director Matt Gallagher seconded and the referral passed unanimously.
