On October 26, 2026, the La Crosse Board of Public Works met at 10:00 AM in the Council Chambers at City Hall. The board reviewed routine approvals, including a bidder responsibility finding, a fire station window replacement bid, and three temporary street or occupancy permits. All motions passed; one member was excused and a quorum was present.
Going to afford to earn us. Great, thank you. Remember, it's excused. But everyone else is present. So we do have quorum. I'll take approval of the minutes. From October 19th. Motion made by Council President Dickinson, second by Director Gallagher. Any discussion or corrections? CNN, please vote. And that motion passes. Moving to our first agenda item 25-1202 bidder's proof of responsibility. Okay, there we go. Thanks, Mayor. We do have one for today. PNT Electric Inc. out of Lacrosse, Wisconsin, for $4,510,778 for electrical data, fiber security, and AV work. Recommend approval. Alright, motion made by Councilmember Goggins. Second by Council President Dickinson. Any discussion? CNN, please vote. Next agenda item 26-1088. Review and approve bid for replacement of windows at fire station number one. Councilmember Goggin. Could we have some discussion on this or some um a little bit of background? Oh now it's there. Fire chief. Good morning. Uh this is part of a project that is ongoing from a reallocation of capital improvement dollars. Um that was for another project at station one. Consolidation of those funds. We tried to look at ways that we could improve the station to become a little bit more efficient. As you know that uh we have over 56 solar panels that sit on top of that building. Um, and one of the reasons that I feel it's important to improve the efficiency is that we can get our dollars back on some of our investments that we made in things like solar projects. The windows at station one are original to 1968. Uh I think there was evidence in the past when we reallocated the money of the need for this, being that in some days in the winter time there's actual frost that can be scraped off the windows. So uh the bid that is winning and the one that we recommend uh was for one call construction glass. They actually did the replacement windows at station three on that capital improvement project, and um, very happy with those results and the efficiency that they provided us already. So that is the bid that I recommend based on what we solicited out there, and it is also the low bid. Thank you, Councilmember Gogger. I think that was my question.
