Council awards curb-and-gutter contract, approves pool repairs and a replacement pickup for water department
Summary
The council approved a $493,510.74 contract for curb, gutter and sidewalk work, accepted a quote to restore the municipal pool slide and start tower, and approved purchase of a 2026 Chevrolet half-ton pickup for the Water Department after vendor supply issues were discussed.
The City of Monroe Common Council approved several public-works contracts and capital purchases at the meeting.
Board of Public Works staff presented a recommendation to hire Petrarchus Construction LLC for the 2026 curb, gutter and sidewalk construction contract for a base bid of $493,510.74. The council approved the contract and authorized the mayor and clerk to execute the agreement.
The board also recommended hiring Fisher Brothers LLC to restore the municipal pool slide and start tower; the presenter cited a quoted cost that appears in the transcript as "$58,000.200" (transcript formatting/numbering anomaly). The council approved hiring Fisher Brothers; funding was noted to come from 2026 capital bonds.
On a separate equipment purchase, the Board of Public Works recommended purchasing a 2026 single-cab half-ton Chevrolet pickup for the Water Department. The presenter explained that the originally bid vendor (Rudy Chevrolet) could not order the requested unit and recommended Badger Chevrolet of Lake Mills as the alternate vendor. The transcript records conflicting price figures in the discussion ($43,003.62 in one line and $43,362 in another) and the council approved the purchase; the presenter stated funding will come from 2026 capital bonds and directed the existing 2008 Ford Ranger be sold at auction.
Council votes on these items were recorded by roll call. Staff indicated contract and purchase awards are subject to execution of the standard agreements and inspection where applicable.
