Update - Phase 1
Bayfield Street Reconstruction Project August 30, 2023 The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has bid out its portion of Phase 1 of the Bayfield Street Reconstruction Project, and has awarded a contract to Hoffman Construction Company of Black River Falls. The City’s portion of this work (parking lanes, street lighting, and concrete terraces) is estimated to be close to $1 million. Paving work of the detour route along Bigelow and Holman Lakeview Drive is expected to start in the latter half of September. And the City will soon be involved with discussions on details of how the rest of the project will commence in the spring of 2024. In September, the City will be releasing its bid package for the water, sewer, and some stormwater work. It is expected that this will cost a few million dollars. Bids will be received at the end of September, and staff will review and make a recommendation to Council for approval of a contractor. A Community Development Block Grant in the amount of $1 million has been received for this project, and the City has an application pending with the DNR Safe Drinking Water Program (water expenses), and is working on the application for the DNR Clean Water Fund Program (sewer expenses). Once all of the cost estimates and grant application results are known, the City will be able to put together the financing plan for the total costs, along with other needs for the City, prior to the project starting in April of 2024. Staff will continue to provide information as it becomes available. Public Meeting - Phase 2 Bayfield Street Reconstruction Project July 17, 2023
