The Village of Hortonville on Jan. 16, 2025 approved two contractor payments tied to local capital projects: a payment to Benton Construction for work at Alonzo Park and a near-final payment to Parker Excavating for the North Mill Street project.

Trustees approved Benton Construction’s pay application No. 2 for the Alonzo Park project in the amount of $350,733.71, with meeting discussion noting the site is winterized and that the work appears about two-thirds complete and matching roughly two-thirds of the contract value.

For the North Mill Street project, the board approved the third and essentially final pay application to Parker Excavating. Staff said about $14,600 would be held back as a retainer to ensure spring completion of seeding, topsoil and other items; that retainer will be released after the spring work is confirmed. The transcript records the payout amount for Parker Excavating in spoken form that is unclear in the transcription record; the board moved and seconded approval and the motion carried.

Board members said they had reviewed the work with the village design engineer and that the engineer confirmed progress before the payments were approved. The actions close major construction work for the park and the mill-street project but keep a small retainage to guarantee final restoration in spring.
