Contract 6-26 - 2026 Sidewalk Repairs - Director of Public Works Howard Crofoot presented that this is our annual sidewalk repair contract. Staff opened one bid on February 17, 2026. The sole bidder is Augelli Concrete and Excavating, LLC. They have done much of the concrete work for street construction contracts over the past few years. The bid came in lower than expected at $29,406.00. The City will work with them to add more locations to be repaired while staying under budget. The budget is $45,000. With Engineering costs, staff will adjust the repair work to be at or under $40,000. Staff recommend the Common Council pass a motion to award Contract 6- 26 to Augelli Concrete and Excavating, LLC at the bid price not to exceed $40,000. B. Letter of Support - Standalone Curb Ramp Improvement Project- Director of Public Works Howard Crofoot explained that the WisDOT is proposing a project to improve curb ramps on Highways 80 and 81 in conjunction with the 2033 improvement projects. This requires a Letter of Support from the City for WisDOT to receive Federal funding for this project. Part 1 - Reconstruction of Water Street from Business Highway 151 to Pine Street. This would rebuild the storm sewer under the street, not including the large storm culvert. It would rebuild street, curb & gutter, and sidewalk. They will investigate whether the configuration needs to change, or other improvements need to be made. All sidewalk curb ramps in this section will be brought up to code as part of this project. Part 2 - Mill and Overlay of State Highway 81 of the asphalt section from Mineral Street on Chestnut Street to the City Limits on Lancaster Street. This would grind out 2 inches of asphalt, then replace it with new asphalt. All sidewalk curb ramps in this section will be brought up to code as part of this project. Part 3 - S GRIP. This would replace sidewalk curb ramps and bring them up to current code for all portions of Highways 80 and 81 not included in parts 1 and 2 above. It would include Pine Street, the section of Chestnut Street from Pine to Mineral, and Water Street from Pine Street to the north City Limits. According to WisDOT, there is no City funding required for this project. Design, construction, and real estate costs are all part of the WisDOT grant funding from the Federal Highway Administration. Staff recommend the Common Council approve a Motion to direct the City Manager to sign the Letter of Support for WisDOT. Motion by Badger, second by Whisenant, to go into a Closed Session. Motion carried 6-0 on a roll call vote.
