The Fitchburg Board of Public Works met on November 2, 2026. The board unanimously approved Resolution R205-26, amending the 2026 capital projects fund budget for the Safe Streets and Roads for All safety action plan. The plan is supported by a $240,000 federal grant, with the city’s share identified as up to $90,000, funded through CIP 1045. Staff said a purchase order for Tool Design is the next step; the planned work includes public engagement and analysis through 2027, with possible completion in early 2028. The board also held a public hearing on final assessments for 2026 sidewalk replacements, discussed damage to newer sidewalks during construction, and heard that the assessment rate in Exhibit A was corrected by 11 cents per square foot.

The board unanimously approved Resolution R208-26, approving bids for park improvements in Outlot 6 temporary park and Outlot 10 fee park at Highfield Reserve. The bids included $52,150 for one improvement contract (the contractor name was unclear in the transcript) and a three-year contract with Heartland Ecological Group, Inc. for prairie establishment, restoration, and tree planting at $53,999; staff said the bids were below the engineer’s estimate. The work is tied to the subdivision improvement agreement and park dedication fees. Staff also reported progress on street resurfacing and the Whan Road paved-shoulder project, while utility relocations for the Fitzerona Road reconstruction remained underway.
