Summary: The City of Two Rivers is moving forward with updates to Paddlers Park, a $60,000 project funded through a $30,000 Wisconsin Coastal Management grant and $30,000 in City capital funding that remains from FY25.
Proposed improvements include a new sidewalk along the shore, a concrete walkway to the kayak launch, a new concrete mattress boat launch, updated site signage, and new picnic tables.
Two sealed bids were received on April 27, 2026, with the most qualified bid from Pier Waterfront Solutions of Sturgeon Bay. The $27,373.60 bid from Pier Waterfront Solutions for the boat launch work is within the project budget and helps advance continued investment in public access, recreation, and our waterfront.
This proposed project supports the City’s strategic goal of enhancing quality of life and creating attractive, family-friendly amenities that help draw and retain young families while strengthening Two Rivers as a vibrant place to live, work, and play.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve and authorize City Staff to sign the contract on behalf of the City
Summary: Cured-in-place pipe lining is a cost effective alternative to extend the life of our sanitary sewer system. The more costly alternative is to dig up the road and replace the aging infrastructure with new pipe, a common practice in reconstruction projects. The liner is inverted into the existing sanitary sewer pipe covering imperfections, cracks, open joints, delamination of pipe materials. Once cured, the liner is similar in nature to a PVC pipe inside the original host pipe and has the potential to extend the functional life of that sewer main by another 50 to 75 years.
Visu-Sewer is presently completing the City's 2025 CIPP Contract and DPW has had no outstanding issues with them.
Recommended Action:
Motion to award the contract to Visu-Sewer LLC of Pewaukee, based on its lowest qualified bid, for an amount not to exceed $759,000
Summary: City staff learned last week that the State of Wisconsin declined the City’s $255,000 grant request for this project, representing approximately 50% of total project costs. From the outset, the project was contingent on at least 50% funding from outside sources, including State grants and Room Tax contributions from tourists, to limit the impact on City taxpayers.
With that threshold no longer achievable this year, staff is recommending suspension of the larger renovation project and instead pursuing minimum Code-compliant upgrades to maintain safe, functional operations.
This item is presented for Council discussion and direction on next steps, including future funding opportunities and potential project scope.
