Mayville approves single-bid code-compliance maintenance contract and moves to closed session

The Mayville Common Council approved awarding RFP012026 — a maintenance-services contract for code-compliance properties — after staff reported the city received a single bid and outlined how notices and contractor work will be scheduled.

A city staff member described the implementation: staff will send notice letters, compile a list to hand to a field officer (named in the record as Travis) to identify properties not in compliance, and the contractor will perform abatement actions on Fridays. Council members discussed how the contractor will be billed on the record: an hourly contractor rate of $150 was referenced during discussion and council reviewed how the city administrative fee schedule could be applied; staff confirmed the contract term as issued in the RFP is three years and that the price is locked for that period. Council authorized staff to draft the contract consistent with the RFP for attorney review before final execution.

A motion to award the contract and authorize contract drafting was made by Alder person Olson and seconded by Henkle; members voted in favor by voice. Following the contract action, the council voted to enter a closed session to deliberate negotiation or purchase of public property, invest public funds or conduct other specified public business, including discussion related to a potential contract and interim treasury services. The motion to go into closed session was made by Alder person Busky, seconded by Alder person Baker; roll call was taken and the council entered closed session at 6:13 p.m.

The transcript records procedural and implementation details but does not identify the successful bidder by name in the public segment, nor does it provide a final contract document in the record. The council directed staff to proceed with drafting, subject to attorney review, and the closed-session discussion was convened to allow confidential deliberation on related negotiations.
