Madelia council unanimously rejects all Bathhouse project bids
Summary
On Jan. 26, 2026, the Madelia City Council voted 5-0 to reject all submitted bids for the Bathhouse project; the vote leaves the project without an awarded contractor and likely requires rebidding or scope changes.
The Madelia City Council voted unanimously on Jan. 26, 2026, to reject all submitted bids for the city's Bathhouse project.
Councilmember Glen Christensen made the motion to reject all bids; Councilmember Mark Slater seconded. Mayor Cody Eager and the other councilmembers voted 5-0 in favor of the motion.
The minutes record the vote and the outcome but do not list reasons for rejecting the bids, cost details, or next steps such as rebidding timeline or scope revisions. That information was not recorded in the typed minutes and would be expected in staff reports or follow-up council discussion.
What happens next: with all bids rejected, the city must determine whether to revise the project, rebid, or take other procurement steps; the minutes do not specify the council's intended follow-up.
