Description
The 2025 Area 7 Flood Mitigation Channel and Storage Improvements project is a multi‑million‑dollar civil‑construction effort aimed at reducing flood risk in the “Area 7” and “Hollidal Channel” zones. The solicitation calls for a full suite of activities—from demolition of existing structures, site clearing, and earthwork, to installation of storm‑sewer pipelines, concrete manholes, rip‑rap protection, curb‑and‑gutter replacement, HMA pavement resurfacing, and ecological restoration (topsoil, seed, erosion‑control mats). Four contractors submitted competitive sealed bids ranging from roughly $1.94 M to $3.20 M, indicating a sizable budget and a moderately competitive market. The work will be overseen by the City of Waukesha, likely in coordination with state‑level guidelines (e.g., WISDOT specifications). No award or contract period details are provided in the excerpt.
• Scope covers demolition, excavation, pipe & manhole installation, rip‑rap, concrete work, pavement, and post‑construction landscaping.
• Total bid amounts suggest a contract value near $2 M‑$3 M, suitable for firms with capabilities in heavy civil construction and water‑resource infrastructure.
• Competitive sealed‑bid process with a bid‑opening date of 14 Mar 2025; no award outcome disclosed.
