Council approves $507,058.29 pay application as 2026 street and utility project progresses
Summary
The council approved Pay Application No. 1 from M.R. Paving totaling $507,058.29 for mobilization and major removals on the 2026 Street & Utility Improvement Project and staff reported the contractor is on schedule for initial-phase work.
The Lakefield City Council voted July 21 to pay $507,058.29 to M.R. Paving as Pay Application No. 1 for the 2026 Street & Utility Improvement Project. The invoice covered mobilization, clearing (trees, curb & gutter, sidewalks, streets), sediment control and removal of storm and sanitary sewer and water-main components.
City Clerk Holly Rademacher told the council the project is on schedule and there were "no major concerns to note." The council approved the payment by motion.
During the meeting staff also provided a project update: sanitary-main installation in the first phase is complete, service hookups on Snure Street are being finalized, and storm sewer work on Griffin Street was nearly finished. Rademacher said grading crews will begin building new road base soon and advised residents in affected blocks to expect changing access and to use alleys or side streets as needed.
The pay application and the project update indicate ongoing capital work; the council approved routine contractor invoices for pump repairs at the Northridge lift station and at the wastewater plant during the same meeting.
