The City of Waukesha's Board of Public Works convened on August 7, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, primarily focused on infrastructure projects and expenditures.

The meeting commenced with a review of 11 payments, including a final contract payout for the 2024 Alley Reconstruction Project. Following a motion by Payne and a second from Kevin Riley, the board unanimously approved the payments without any questions or comments.

Next, the board addressed the HVAC replacement project at the Municipal Garage for 2025. Three bids were received, with the board recommending the low bid from Surefire Incorporated at $350,000. Kevin Riley moved to accept the bid, which was seconded and subsequently approved after a brief discussion regarding the significant price difference compared to other bids. The board noted that Surefire's capacity and availability likely contributed to their competitive pricing, and their references from other municipalities were highly favorable.

The discussion then shifted to the purchase of sewer castings for manholes and inlets around the city. The board received two quotes, with Ferguson Water Works offering the lower price of $241,380. The castings will be used in various resurfacing and reconstruction projects. After clarifying the nature of the materials and their intended use, the board voted to accept Ferguson's bid, with a motion from Kevin Riley and a second from another member.

Items 8 and 9 on the agenda were noted as having no reports or communications, indicating a quiet period for official notices as the year progresses.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to maintaining and improving city infrastructure through careful financial decisions and vendor selections. The next steps will involve the execution of the approved contracts and continued oversight of ongoing projects.
