Waukesha council approves $10.8 million street-resurfacing contract, adjusts municipal court bond schedule
Summary
At its April 9 meeting the Waukesha Common Council approved a $10,771,081.80 contract for the 2026 Asphalt Street Resurfacing project, awarded a $52,400 boiler replacement contract for the transit center, and amended the municipal court bond schedule to reflect a $10-per-ticket state fee increase.
The Waukesha Common Council on April 9 approved several procurement and administrative items, including a $10,771,081.80 contract for the 2026 Asphalt Street Resurfacing and associated utility repairs and a $52,400 contract to replace a boiler at the transit center.
Board of Public Works representative Alex told the council the resurfacing project received three bids and came in under budget. The board recommended awarding the base bid plus mandatory alternate 1 and the utility repair alternate to the low bidder for a total of $10,771,081.80; the council approved the recommendation unanimously.
Alex said the transit center boiler is past its useful life and the board recommended accepting the base bid from August Winters and Sons in the amount of $52,400. That motion passed with a recorded vote of 12–1.
Council also voted unanimously to amend the municipal court bond schedule to reflect a $10 increase in municipal court fees mandated by recent state legislation. City staff explained the municipal judge sets the bond schedule and the change aligns local bonds with the new statutory maximums.
Other routine actions included unanimous approval of the March 17, 2026 meeting minutes and the consent agenda. The council reappointed Christine D'Angelo to the Board of Review for a three‑year term; that nomination passed with one abstention.
The council referred a request to investigate stop sign placement at River Road and Lonsdale Road to the Buildings and Grounds committee. No controversial debate or additional conditions were attached to the contract awards during the meeting; staff said the resurfacing project included multiple alternates and remained within the available budget.
What happens next: the resurfacing contractor will proceed per the Board of Public Works recommendation and council authorization; staff will manage contract execution and construction scheduling. The stop‑sign referral will be handled by Buildings and Grounds.
