Board awards park upgrades and sanitary sewer lining contracts, approves minutes and payments
Summary
The Waukesha Board of Public Works approved the minutes and payments, accepted a low bid for park facility upgrades (transcript lists Will Surg/Will Surge) for $713,574.40 and awarded the 2026 sanitary sewer lining and relay project to Super Excavators for $398,821; staff said sewer lining includes VISU Sewer as a subcontractor and over-budget costs will be covered by CIP transfers.
The Waukesha Board of Public Works on May 21 approved routine board business and awarded contracts for park upgrades and a sanitary sewer lining project.
The board first approved the minutes of its May 7 meeting and then voted to approve four listed payments. All motions were approved by voice vote with ayes recorded by the chair and members present.
Under Item 5A, staff reported three bids for the Prairie Park and Banting Park facility upgrades and recommended the low bid from Will Surg (the transcript also refers to the vendor as "Will Surge") in the amount of $713,574.40. "Will Surge has worked with us in the past on numerous projects," staff said and recommended accepting the low bid; the board voted to accept the bid.
Under Item 5C, staff described the 2026 sanitary sewer lining and relay project, noting a section failed during flooding last August and that two bids were received. Staff recommended the low bid from Super Excavators for $398,821.00; staff also explained Super will use VISU Sewer as the subcontractor for the lining work. The board approved awarding the project to Super Excavators. Staff acknowledged the bid exceeded the original budget but said city CIP savings from other bid-out projects will be transferred to cover the work.
During the payments vote a board member asked whether recent electrical work at Station 5 (a separate repair after damage) was part of the contractor scope; public-works staff clarified the Station 5 generator is operational and that the panel and breaker replacement is a different repair, not part of the park or sewer contracts.
The board held Item 5B without action and adjourned after completing the agenda.
The awarded contracts and the planned CIP transfer to cover the sewer relining will be processed through procurement and project accounting; staff said they would provide follow-up information if needed.
