Council awards cemetery fence reinstallation contract to Top Notch Fencing for $15,000
Summary
Public works recommended and the council approved a $15,000 subcontract to Top Notch Fencing to reinstall and improve cemetery fencing to MnDOT footings and standards; staff said the cost fits within the $25,000 budgeted line item.
Public works presented three vendor quotes for reinstallation of the cemetery fence and recommended proceeding with Top Notch Fencing at a quoted installation cost of $15,000. Staff said the work would be held to MnDOT standards for footings and would improve longevity compared with the previous removal and powder-coating. The project fits within the city's 2026 special revenue cemetery repair allocation of $25,000.
Council discussed relative in-house versus contractor costs and the benefits of contractor experience; staff noted curb construction alone would have been two to three times the fence quote. A councilmember moved to accept the subcontractor quote and the council approved the motion by roll call/voice vote.
What happens next: Public works will schedule the contractor work, inspect installation to MnDOT specifications, and return any unused budget balance to the special revenue fund.
