PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE STATUS REPORT FOR:
MAY 2004
(Update submitted on 5/26/04)
Rosewood Landscaping - Mayor Slocomb and I met with Paula Johnson
(S72 W14867 Rosewood Drive). Ms. Johnson’s newest request is filling of
the easement area up to the right-of-way line and installing fence at the right-
of-way line. We will be looking at possible locations and different alternatives
for filling in this area. Once a decision has been made and agreed upon by
Ms. Johnson, I will advise committee. However, if large amounts of fill will be
brought in to this easement area, those plans will be brought before the
committee for their approval. Sean is still working with Paula Johnson on
potential fill areas. Will be waiting until Spring to finalize.
3/15/04 - Nothing new to report. 4/22/04 - Nothing new to report.
5/26/04 – Waiting for Paula Johnson to respond to city’s letter of May 14, 2004.
Tess Corners Pond Expansion/Drainage Issues (New Berlin) - The public notice expired
and no comments were received. The DNR is completing the paper work for permit which we
should receive by our meeting date of March 22, 2004.The environmental issues have been
approved and the DNR’s engineer has signed off on the project. The permit application should
be going to publication within the next 15-20 days. This has to be in the paper for 30 days and
if no one objects, a permit is then issued. Once a permit is issued we will look at land
acquisition with the City of New Berlin with a late Summer or early Fall 2004 construction start.
The public notice is in the paper and it expires on 3-4-04. To date, the DNR has not had any
public comments on the project and Sean will be meeting with the City of New Berlin this week
for land acquisition. 3/15/04 - The public notification has expired and no comments were
received. The DNR is completing the paper work for the permit which we should received by

MAY 26, 2004 MAY COMMITTEE REPORT PAGE 2
5/26/04 - Relocation Order went to the City of New Berlin’s Public Works Committee at
the end of May and will be going to their Common Council meeting in June. A meeting
th
has been scheduled with DNR/City of New Berlin/City of Muskego for June 11 to go

Janesville Road/Moorland Road Intersection - The borings are back for this intersection.
They show that the asphalt thickness ranges from 2” to 10” deficient. At the last meeting,
Ruekert & Mielke did report that they mis-staked approximately 100 feet of this intersection;
however, the insufficient base begins at the north end of the island all the way to the center line
of Princeton Drive. Once this report comes back from MES, we will have another meeting with
Waukesha County, the contractor and representatives from Ruekert & Mielke to determine
who is to pay what. This should cost the City of Muskego no more than approximately
$250.00 for borings. Sean will be meeting with the consultant and contractor mid-March to
discuss final resolution. 3/15/04 - Nothing new to report. 4/22/04 - Met late afternoon on
th
Tuesday, April 20. We have the final resolution. The roadway repairs will be completed in
early May with the three contractors and Ruekert & Mielke sharing the cost. The repair will go
from 5 ft. north of the median at Moorland/Janesville to the south right-of-way line of Princeton
Drive.
5/26/04 – Everything has been completed and this item will be taken off of future
agendas.
Janesville Road Reconstruction Project - The DNR had objections regarding navigating
waterways and the retention pond in back of BioSource Flavors. The City of Muskego
requested a meeting with the DNR, on behalf of Waukesha County, and we were able to
negotiate minor changes to address the DNR’s concerns. This delay will backup the bid date
thst
from January 22, 204 to February 17, 2004. The construction start of April 15 thru May 1 will
not change. The Utility relocation work scheduled for completion the third week in March.
Bids were received on February 18, 2004 and the apparent low bidder is Mann Brothers with
an estimated construction cost of $4,360,417.04. The City of Muskego’s portion is under the
original estimate. 3/15/04 - Preconstruction meeting is scheduled for 3/25/04 and the
th
construction operations meeting is scheduled for 3/12/04. Construction start of April 15 thru
stth

the closures as minimal as possible.

for traffic signals at this intersection. They are approximately 20% completed with the study
