th
reconstruction project were opened on May 4. Four bids were received and LaLonde

estimate of $1.43 million. Staff and R.A. Smith National are recommending awarding
the bid to LaLonde Contractors. Director Simpson added that LaLonde has does a lot

Review and Recommendation Regarding Final Assessment Resolution for
Pioneer Drive Water Extension Project (City Engineer) Director Simpson explained
this is the Pioneer Drive Final Assessment for the watermain project that will go from the
Parks garage to Janesville Road. The costs were reduced from $104 per foot to $57

Chiaverotti noted the current rate is 8%. Other community’s rates include New Berlin 4-
5%, Brookfield 7%, Franklin 6%, Menomonee Falls 7%, and Oak Creek 9%. Mayor
Chiaverotti added the Finance Director would be ok with a change of 1-2%, but is not
recommending it. An ordinance revision may be required and the question of this being
retro to past project may arise.

Simpson stated 8%. The committee agreed to leave the interest rate at 8% to be
consistent. Ald. Borgman requested research be done on the rates for project going
forward. Ald. Borgman made a motion to recommend approval of the Final
