Green Bay firm gets Flatley Avenue contract

Advance Construction of Green Bay has been awarded the contract for a makeover of Flatley Avenue in Oconto Falls this summer.

Aaron Breitenfeldt, project manager for Robert E. Lee & Associates, said the company submitted the low bid of $455,598. Ten construction firms bid on the project, with proposals ranging up to $608,651.

“We’ve worked with Advance quite a bit in the past and have been very satisfied with their work,” Breitenfeldt said.

Advance has 50 working days to finish the work between May 1 and Sept. 15, and the “clock” starts ticking on the 50 days once they get their equipment into place, he said.

Letters would be going to property owners on Flatley soon with details about the project, City Administrator Vicki Roberts said.

The project, which is the largest public works program in the city’s approved 2021 budget, includes rebuilding the street, curb and gutter, and water and sewer mains.
