Brookfield City council approves $6.2 million in Wirth Park Athletic Complex contracts and $876,000 budget increase

The Brookfield City Common Council approved, as part of its June 2 consent agenda, a package of budget and construction actions for the Wirth Park Athletic Complex redevelopment (Project #PR-266). The council approved an $876,000 increase to the Park Improvements-construction account; funds were transferred $286,000 from account 23111370-591000 and $590,000 from account 23350370-578600.

The council awarded Contract A (general site construction) for Project #PR-266 to H&H Civil Construction LLC in the amount of $4,464,892.35, Contract B (synthetic turf construction) to Sprinturf LLC for $965,267.48, and a field lighting/synthetic turf-related contract to Musco Sports Lighting for $778,742.00. The council also authorized staff to direct purchase equipment for the project not to exceed $286,000 and approved a contract with Rettler Corporation for Phase 3 of the redevelopment (contract amount not specified in the minutes). These items were approved on consent as part of a single motion that carried 12-0.

The consent vote bundled multiple items, so individual motions and roll-call tallies for each contract were not recorded separately in the minutes; the minutes list the vendor names, contract amounts where specified, and the account transfers funding the increase. The minutes do not specify an implementation schedule for construction or equipment procurement beyond the contract awards and the direct-purchase authorization.

Votes at a glance: the consent agenda (including the Wirth Park items, mosquito program agreement and fee, multiple license approvals, temporary event licenses, and brewery off-premise retail approvals) was approved 12-0 on a single motion by Alderperson Jason Anderson, seconded by Alderperson Chuck Bloom III.
