Monona council approves low bid for 2026 utility project; award about $2.6 million
Summary
The council approved awarding the 2026 utility contract to SNL Underground, authorizing a combined base and alternates award request of $2,596,174.65; staff said contingency and available funds cover the cost but individual vote counts were not specified in the transcript.
The Monona council approved awarding the 2026 utility project to the low bidder, SNL Underground, with a combined base and selected alternates totaling $2,596,174.65.
Public works staff reported five bids were received and said SNL Underground submitted the low base bid of $2,533,864.15. Staff recommended acceptance of bid alternate A (center-line sealant) for $26,364 and alternate C (curb and gutter replacement on Arrowhead from Wild Haven to the cul-de-sac) for $35,946.50, producing a combined award request of $2,596,174.65. Staff said the city has approximately $3.163 million available and that contingency funding remains adequate despite higher-than-expected water-main costs on a related project.
A motion to approve the combined award was made, seconded and called to a vote; the transcript records members responding "I" and records the item as passed but does not provide named vote tallies.
Staff noted they would reallocate previously approved project management funds and that the funding plan leaves sufficient contingency for the utility work.
