Purpose

To award a contract with Friede & Associates LLC for the construction of a maintenance building. 

Background

BACKGROUND: White Mound County Park, Sauk County’s signature park, recently underwent a master planning process for the management of the park for the next twenty years. As part of the plan, constructing a new maintenance building is noted as a goal to improve park infrastructure. The existing maintenance building was built in 1998 and was constructed based on the needs of that time. The building is non-compliant with local and state building codes and has become inadequate for operations, equipment storage and staff needs. Jewell Associates from Spring Green, WI was awarded a contract for the design and engineering of the building in June 2024. Bids were let for the construction, with five proposals received by the deadline and evaluated against the criteria in the Request for Bids. A complete list of bids received is attached as Exhibit A.
