Saukville board rejects wastewater plant expansion bid

The Saukville Village Board voted May 26 to reject the bid for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion and the proposed future Department of Public Works building pad development. Village Board member Jim Nowlen moved, and Village Board member Jesse Duckart seconded, the motion to reject the bid; the minutes record that the motion carried but do not include a roll-call tally or identify the bidder.

The action came during the Finance Committee report portion of the meeting. Village President Andy Hebein also reported on the committee’s May 26 meeting; the minutes do not record any discussion of the reasons for rejecting the bid or outline next steps such as re-bidding, tabling the project, or awarding a different proposal. The minutes list only that the motion to reject the bid was made and that it carried.

Other business at the 7:05 p.m. meeting included approval of the May 5, 2026 minutes (a motion by Village Board member Jesse Duckart, seconded by Village Board member Jim Nowlen, which the minutes say carried), routine committee reports with no substantive items, notices of upcoming meetings, and a scheduled Mid-Moraine dinner on May 27. No citizen comments were recorded. The board adjourned at 7:10 p.m. on a motion moved by Village Board member Jim Nowlen and seconded by Village Board member Brandon Donen; the minutes record the motion carried.

The minutes do not specify dollar amounts, bidder names, or a vote tally for the wastewater bid action. For those details, the board’s clerk or village staff would need to be consulted or subsequent meeting minutes or staff reports reviewed.
