Contractors that build state projects are ready for a fight if a Wisconsin lawmaker succeeds in preventing them from contributing to political campaigns.

A state agency remains committed to launching an electronic bidding system in eight months despite uncertain legislative support, an untried system and industry representatives who say there are more important issues.

A few tweaks to bidding documents for state projects could reduce confusion, but contractors are cautioning the state not to go too far with its changes.

Contractors are making more mistakes more often on bid documents, prompting state officials to broach the prickly prospect of giving themselves more discretion in awarding projects.
“I’d say with almost every project, we see one contractor disqualified for a mistake in the documents,” said David Helbach, an administrator in the Wisconsin Department of Administration’s Division [...]

Instead of responding to the construction landscape with caution and cutbacks, three contractors are expanding with new offices and more employees.
Waukesha-based Ruekert & Mielke Inc. opened up a new office in Madison in late April because the firm recently won more projects in the area, and southwest Wisconsin is weathering the downturn better [...]

The general contracting team on the Milwaukee Job Corps Center is fending off union criticism that the project is not putting enough city residents to work.
But Milwaukee-area builders should be happy the $28.3 million job didn’t go to an out-of-state company, said

Miron Construction Co. Inc. wants to hire local subs for Southwest Wisconsin Technical College’s campus projects, say representatives from the Neenah-based general contractor.
