Public Works Committee recommends multiple contract awards and task orders; most motions approved by voice vote
Summary
On March 23 the Middleton Public Works Committee recommended awarding construction and consultant contracts (road resurfacing, concrete repair), approved a cross‑connection inspection agreement, and recommended several task orders for traffic/utility work; all motions carried by voice vote and will move to Finance and Personnel and Common Council as required.
The Middleton Public Works Committee on March 23 moved and approved recommendations to fund and award multiple contracts and task orders. The committee’s approvals were forwarded to Finance & Personnel and Common Council where applicable; staff stressed several awards remain subject to city attorney review.
Key approved recommendations and committee notes:
- Payne & Dolan — 2026 road resurfacing project (Stonefield area near Elan Elementary): committee recommended award to Payne & Dolan as the apparent low responsive bidder; motion approved by voice vote. Staff noted the capital portion is partially offset by approximately $93,000 of water utility funds. (Motion recommended; amount cited in packet: $1,337,265.75; subject to attorney review.)
- JB Johnson Brothers Construction LLC — miscellaneous concrete repair: committee recommended award to JB Johnson Brothers as the apparent low responsive bidder for removal and replacement work; committee noted $160,000 is available in the account and this portion pertains to removal/replacement; motion approved by voice vote. (Exact contract figure for the motion in the transcript is unclear; packet memo referenced available funds and bids.)
- HydroCorp, Inc. — cross‑connection control program agreement: committee recommended renewing/expanding the agreement with HydroCorp for commercial/industrial cross‑connection inspections; staff explained the work is billed monthly and the contract amount in the packet is a not‑to‑exceed figure (transcript figures in packet are inconsistent); motion approved by voice vote.
- SRF Consulting — Elmwood Avenue traffic study (Task Order 26‑121.1): committee recommended approval of the Elmwood neighborhood traffic study task order not to exceed $25,000; motion approved by voice vote.
- Strand Associates — Century Avenue utility relocations (Task Order 26‑05): committee recommended approval for utility relocation design work not to exceed $89,500; motion approved by voice vote.
- Strand Associates — on‑call engineering support (Task Order 26‑01): committee recommended approval for on‑call utility engineering support not to exceed $25,000; motion approved by voice vote.
Votes and procedure: Most motions were made, seconded and approved by voice vote with no recorded individual roll‑call tallies in the transcript; the committee generally signified approval by saying “I.” Several items are subject to city attorney review before final contract execution. Where packet figures were garbled in the transcript, staff indicated the definitive numbers appear in the agenda packet and that the committee’s motion referred to the not‑to‑exceed figures included there.
What’s next: These recommendations will be forwarded to Finance & Personnel and Common Council (as applicable) for final approval and contract authorization. Staff will return with more detailed cost estimates for projects requiring design advancement.
