Council awards Roundtree Branch stream‑bank restoration contract under DNR grant
Summary
Platteville awarded contract 13‑26 to the low bidder, R & T Velli, for Roundtree Branch stream‑bank work (base bid $38,5xx; alternate $11,255), and authorized staff to include additional locations under a DNR grant up to the $200,000 combined budget.
The Platteville Common Council approved awarding contract 13‑26 for Roundtree Branch stream‑bank restoration to the low bidder and authorized staff to add approved additional locations covered by a DNR grant up to the combined $200,000 budget (50/50 DNR grant and city match).
Staff described the base bid scope (three initial locations) and an alternate to repair erosion near the back bar at Uno’s. The low bidder’s combined base plus alternate price was roughly $49,260, well under the $200,000 combined budget. Staff said they will confirm scopes and regulatory concurrence for any additional locations before adding them to the contract.
Council asked about a temporary asphalt patch at the back bar erosion site; staff confirmed that street‑department crews had done a short‑term patch to delay further deterioration pending the restoration contract. The City recommended proceeding now to complete the priority sites within the grant budget.
What happens next: Staff will execute the contract with R & T Velli for the base scope and the alternate A work, and will proceed with additional approved sites in priority order as regulators and the contractor concur.
