Town of Dunn Boat Launch Repair/Upgrade - McConnell St

The Town of Dunn in Dane County, Wisconsin, is seeking bids for a boat launch repair and upgrade project located on Lake Waubesa at McConnell Street. The procurement involves repairing and updating an existing boat launch to meet current Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) minimum standards, specifically for a boat launch without a pier. Bidders are required to submit a brief written plan of action detailing their approach to the work and must be prepared to obtain all necessary permits for the project. The solicitation requires contractors to complete repairs that bring the boat launch into compliance with DNR standards, with potential materials removed during the upgrade process to be hauled to the Town's Transfer Site in McFarland. Proposals are due by October 4, 2019, at 1:00 p.m. at the Town Hall, with a recommended site inspection for prospective bidders prior to submission. Interested contractors should direct any questions to Todd Klahn, Public Works Superintendent, or Hardy Krueger from Public Works & Parks. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all proposals received and is seeking to commence work as soon as possible following Town Board approval.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the project requires careful integration with existing site infrastructure and DNR permitting requirements. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range or award value for the boat launch repair project. Contractors will need to navigate Chapter 30 general permit guidelines and potentially secure an individual permit if the launch design does not meet standard criteria. The WDNR has indicated that flood-damaged areas may begin restoration activities while the permit process is underway, providing some flexibility for the awarded contractor. Interested bidders should carefully review the provided documentation, including the email from Wendy Peich at WDNR and the project map, to fully understand the technical and regulatory requirements of the boat launch repair and upgrade project.
