Manteno board approves electric and plumbing contracts for new pavilion
Summary
The Manteno Village Board approved a $21,967 contract with KPI Electric and a plumbing contract not to exceed $49,410 with Glady Plumbing and Piping for the new pavilion; trustees discussed bid outreach and whether costs fit the project's budget.
Manteno — The Manteno Village Board voted March 16 to move forward with electrical and plumbing contracts for a new pavilion at the square on Second Street.
For electrical work, the board approved a $21,967 estimate from KPI Electric to furnish and install electrical systems for the pavilion. Trustee Woodrow moved for approval; the board discussed procurement and staff said five contractors were approached for bids. The motion carried.
The board also approved a plumbing contract with Glady Plumbing and Piping Company not to exceed $49,410 for installation of pavilion bathrooms. Trustee Geske moved the plumbing motion; the measure passed on a roll-call-style sequence recorded in the meeting minutes.
Residents had asked whether these amounts were part of a previously cited figure for the project. Francine Fatima asked if the quoted $21,967 (electric) and $49,410 (plumbing) were included in the $300,000 the board had mentioned earlier for pavilion work. Administrator Jim (last name not provided) said those estimates were included in project costs and discussed expected remaining items (roof, limited additional contracts). At one point staff referenced a past comparison figure of $3.3 million for a different building to explain cost context.
What the board approved: - KPI Electric: $21,967 to furnish and install electrical for the pavilion. - Glady Plumbing and Piping Company: not to exceed $49,410 for pavilion restroom plumbing.
Next steps: Construction activities were reported to already be underway on the pavilion foundation and restroom concrete; trustees said remaining items would be scheduled through public-works planning and fall within the project’s budgeting process.
