Willmar Council approves $4.7 million 4th Street contract, greenlights road and stormwater bids
Summary
The Willmar City Council awarded the 4th Street Southwest reconstruction contract to Ryan Contracting for $4,685,156.10, approved a seal‑coating contract with Asphalt Surface Technologies for $136,238.05 and awarded a stormwater improvement quote to Hoffman Construction for $122,155.49; related as‑bid budgets were also approved.
The Willmar City Council on a unanimous voice and roll‑call vote approved three public‑works contracts and associated as‑bid budgets at its regular meeting.
City engineer Jared Foege told the council the 4th Street Southwest project drew nine bidders and the low bid was "Ryan Contracting of Elko, Minnesota in the amount of $4,685,156.10." The council adopted a resolution awarding the project to Ryan Contracting and approved the as‑bid budget.
Foege also reported three bids for the seal‑coating and crack‑filling improvement project; the low bidder was "Asphalt Surface Technologies Corporation" of St. Cloud at $136,238.05, and the council approved the award and budget by roll call. For a stormwater improvement solicitation, Foege said six quotes were received and the low quote "was submitted by Hoffman Construction Company, LLC in the amount of $122,155.49." The council adopted the resolution awarding that project and later approved an as‑bid budget figure of $168,800 for the stormwater work.
All motions to award the contracts and to approve the corresponding as‑bid budgets passed on roll‑call votes with no nay votes recorded.
The actions complete the formal procurement steps recorded on those agenda items; staff will proceed with contract execution and scheduling with the awarded firms. Funding sources and specific project schedules were not specified in the meeting record.
