Public Works / October 27, 2026

The City of Hartford, Wisconsin Public Works meeting on October 27, 2026, discussed winter operations and two infrastructure projects. Staff described the snow-clearing sequence, said the city has its full salt allotment with additional salt available if needed, and raised pre-treating roads with brine as a possible future improvement that would require equipment or parts. The 2027 garbage and recycling brochure will largely retain existing rules, with brush collection clarified as beginning the first full Monday of each month; no related purchasing action was identified.

The committee approved the lowest bid from IC Construction for Fire Station No. 2, including both alternatives, at $3,760,300—below the revised $3,944,000 construction budget. The discussion also covered about $900,000 in soft costs and a proposed reallocation of $830,000 associated with the planned replacement of fire engine 1660 to help equip the station; the transcript does not clearly capture the outcome of a separate vote on that funding. The committee also approved a contract for pavement work at the Highway 60/Main Street intersection, with Payne and Dolan identified as the contractor. The work was tentatively scheduled for the night of November 16, with a full closure and detour; no contract amount was stated.
