Kewaunee council clears several maintenance and payment items including $160,416 harbor payment
Summary
Council approved a $160,416.75 payment to Michael's Construction for harbor piling repairs, a $15,000 tuckpointing project funded by ARPA, and a nonprofit's $10,002.36 lighthouse repainting paid by the Friends group; the July financial report was also approved.
The council approved a series of maintenance and payment items during the meeting.
Harbor work: Council approved Payment Application No. 1 to Michael's Construction for the tuck bollard / piling repair project in the amount of $160,416.75. Staff said work began June 15 and has been completed; the project is funded in part by a Harbor Assistance Program (HAP) grant and staff expects approximately 80% reimbursement from the Department of Transportation. The authorization withholds $4,113.25 to keep the contract open for miscellaneous repairs and staff noted a possible additional fender installation (estimated $4,000–$5,000) pending HAP administrator approval.
Municipal campus tuckpointing: Council approved a tuckpointing and masonry repair project at the municipal campus by RM Masonry LLC not to exceed $15,000, to be paid from available ARPA funds. Staff said the work had been discussed previously by the public property committee and recommended approval.
Pier Head Lighthouse: Council approved a Friends of the Pier Head Lighthouse request to paint the lower exterior metal sheeting; the nonprofit will pay an estimated $10,002.36 for the work and staff recommended approval.
Financial report: Council approved the July 2024 financial report as submitted.
Why it matters: The payments and approvals cover completed harbor repairs with pending grant reimbursement, building maintenance supported by ARPA funds and a nonprofit‑funded aesthetic project for a community landmark. The harbor payment notably involves a six‑figure disbursement with reimbursement expectations.
What's next: Staff will process the payment application, submit reimbursement paperwork to DOT/HAP administrators and, if HAP approves, may return with a change order to add recommended fenders.
