Council approves amended Shipyard Phase 2 contract after EPA grant eases scope
Summary
The Green Bay Common Council approved awarding the Shipyard redevelopment Phase 2 construction contract to Apine Inc. for $11,668,826.70 after City staff reported a new $2,150,000 EPA grant; council also approved a $750,000 Tax Increment District allocation required to meet the matching requirement.
The Common Council voted Aug. 18 to approve an amended construction contract for the Green Bay Shipyard redevelopment Phase 2, increasing the base-plus-alternates award to Apine Inc. to $11,668,826.70. Council members had been asked to provide an additional $750,000 from Tax Increment District (TID) No. 22 to meet a matching requirement for recently announced grant funding.
"We were notified today, that we received an additional 2,150,000 in grant funding from the EPA to go towards this project," Director Ditchay told the council, adding the new funds make it possible to include alternates such as a dog park, sports lighting and bollards and to provide a 10% construction contingency. The director said the project has now received a total of $7,150,000 in grant funding, but that matching funds remain necessary.
City staff said the previously budgeted funds covered engineering services and the base bid only; the EPA grant enables the full envisioned scope. A council member moved to amend the contract award to include alternates 1, 2 and 5 and the adjusted total; the amendment and the final motion to approve the award both carried on voice votes.
Council and staff described two practical implications: the ability to proceed with additional project elements previously out of budget, and the need to finalize the $750,000 local allocation to complete the match. The motion that moved the item forward also directed that the contract award remain subject to council approval of the indicated funding allocation.
Next steps include formal allocation of the $750,000 in the council's funding agenda and contract execution with Apine Inc. Construction observation consulting services and contingency oversight were described as part of the implementation plan.
