Ulen board gets update on entrance construction; progress payments and inspections still pending
Summary
Board members reported that entrance footers were poured and inspected and that Greenside is expected to resume work; members asked staff to contact contractor Adam for a progress schedule and clarified the town will pay on progress rather than a 50% upfront request.
The Ulen board heard an update on a town entrance construction project and discussed contract payments and an inspection plan.
Members said crews recently filled holes and poured footers for the entrance; Adam reviewed the footers and reported they looked satisfactory. Greenside, the contractor, is expected to resume work in the coming weeks after a curing period. Board members asked staff to contact Adam and Greenside to confirm the planned timeline and any required progress payments.
On payment terms, a member said the contractor had requested a 50% upfront payment and the board declined, preferring to pay based on documented progress; a specific schedule of progress payments was not provided and members asked staff to follow up so the board can be prepared for any invoices.
The board also noted routine vendor items tied to physical work: a final masonry payment to "Masonry by Anderson" was on the vouchers list, and JD Storage was paid for the year while staff will request a complete invoice. Setco replaced two manhole covers earlier in the month, and members discussed several streetlight fixtures that need new heads or repair and agreed to inspect fixtures and consider having an electrician examine the wiring and mounting hardware.
Next steps: staff were asked to get a progress report from the contractor, confirm whether any interim payments are contractually due, and return with a timeline for remaining work and any payment requests.
