Summary

Peaine Township authorized publication of a revised RFP for a grant-funded solar water well and hand pump at the DNR-leased Lake Geneserath boat-launch site. The RFP sought bids by March 1, 2025 and specified a June 15 drilling deadline. In August the Board approved a $13,108 sole-source solar hookup to complete the work before the grant deadline.

Evidence and limits

The held records establish land-tenure context, solicitation, and a later installation-stage authorization. They do not establish completed construction, grant closeout, water-quality results, potability, public availability, or completion of a Master Plan capital-improvement action. The separate campground cessation and water-testing authorization are linked rather than combined with this procurement record.
