Rothschild hires Becher Hoppe for $42,750 to finish Upper Schmidt Avenue design and bidding
Summary
Public Works Administrator Timothy Vergara recommended completing the previously paused Schmidt Avenue reconstruction design; Becher Hoppe proposed $42,750 to finish design and bid the work for a planned winter 2025 bidding. The board approved the contract 6–0.
Public Works Administrator Timothy Vergara told the board the Upper Schmidt Avenue Reconstruction (George Street to Leon Street) had been left about 60% complete in 2020 when project scope shifted and underground utility concerns prompted design changes. Vergara said he asked engineering firm Becher Hoppe to revisit the project and provide a proposal to complete design and bidding.
Becher Hoppe submitted a proposal for $42,750 to finish design and prepare bid documents with the intent of a January–February 2025 bid opening. Vergara recommended approval for 2025 construction. The board approved the design/bid services with a motion by Trustee Bill Schremp, seconded by Trustee Dan Helgeson; the motion carried 6–0.
The authorization directs staff and the consultant to complete design and pursue a winter 2025 bid schedule; the board did not discuss funding sources for construction at this meeting.
