Shamrock Lakes board approves Cicero Underground to repair three manhole covers
Summary
The board voted to hire Cicero (Cisero) Underground to raise/repair three manhole covers after reviewing multiple estimates; the motion carried and the clerk said the contractor will update invoices to show Shamrock Lakes as the payee. Transcript contained inconsistent price mentions; the board approved the Cicero/Cisero bid as presented.
The Town of Shamrock Lakes Town Board approved hiring Cicero (referred to in the transcript also as "Cisero") Underground to repair and raise three manhole covers after reviewing multiple contractor estimates.
Board members discussed two bids: one contractor provided a bundled price to handle all three manhole covers, while another provided separate quotes for the two smaller covers and excluded labor for the third (buried) manhole. The board favored a single contractor to avoid splitting the work and to simplify project management.
A motion to hire Cicero/Cisero Underground to perform all three manhole repairs was made and seconded and the board voted in favor. The clerk said she will ask the contractor to update the bid paperwork and the invoice so the work and billing are listed to Shamrock Lakes.
Price notes and transcript inconsistency: during discussion a figure of "3650" (three thousand six hundred fifty) was quoted as an estimate for Cisero; later, when the motion was made, the motion language included "33,650." The board approved the Cicero/Cisero contract as presented in the motion; the clerk will obtain the corrected, itemized invoice from the contractor and attach it to the town's records.
Quotes: "So, everybody's comfortable... I motion that we approve Cicero estimation of doing all three manhole covers at 33,650," a board member said when moving the motion.
What happens next: the clerk will obtain an updated, itemized estimate from the contractor listing Shamrock Lakes as the invoiced party and will distribute that to the board. Work scheduling and exact scope will be finalized with the contractor.
