Oneida County committee accepts low bids for three 2026 road projects and awards Rhinelander electrical design work
Summary
The Oneida County Public Works Committee on May 14 accepted low bids for CTH E, CTH K and CTH N construction projects and awarded a two‑phase electrical design contract for the Rhinelander facility to Excel for $35,325. Motion votes were recorded as 'carried' but tallies were not specified.
The Oneida County Public Works Committee voted May 14 to accept low bids for three county trunk highway construction projects and to award design services for electrical upgrades at the Rhinelander facility.
The committee accepted the lowest bidders for each project: American Asphalt for CTH E, Pitlik & Wick for CTH K and Northeast Asphalt for CTH N. Committee member Billy Fried moved to accept the three low bids; Bob Almekinder seconded and the motion carried, according to meeting minutes. The minutes list bid totals in the packet for each bidder but do not provide roll‑call vote tallies.
In a separate motion, the committee awarded 2026 design services for phase 1 and phase 2 of electrical upgrades at the Rhinelander facility to Excel at a cost of $35,325. Dan Hess moved to award the contract and Almekinder seconded; the motion carried.
Why it matters: The awards set the contractors and consultant for work affecting county roads and a county facility. The construction contracts will determine which firms perform resurfacing and related work on CTH E, CTH K and CTH N this season; the design contract advances planned electrical upgrades at the Rhinelander facility.
Details and context: The minutes include line‑item bid amounts for multiple bidders (Pitlik & Wick, Northeast Asphalt, American Asphalt) for the listed projects. The packet shows different totals and a line labeled "*Total with RR" whose formatting in the minutes is ambiguous; the committee motion accepted the apparent low bidders as presented. The design services award was recorded as $35,325 for Excel (phase 1 and phase 2).
The meeting record does not include roll‑call tallies for these motions. The committee did not request additional discussion or public comment on these awards during the meeting.
Next steps: Contractors will proceed under the awarded contracts subject to any later approvals required by county procurement rules or contract execution steps. The Rhinelander design work will begin under the awarded contract; the committee did not specify a project schedule at the meeting.
