Highway department announces FY26 paving, reclamation and chip-seal awards

The North Brookfield highway department announced its FY26 bid awards at the Select Board meeting on Aug. 12. The department named the low bidders for paving, reclamation and rubberized chip seal work. The meeting record lists the successful firms as "Mass Broke Broken Stone" for paving, "Murray Paving" for reclamation and "Allstate's Construction" for rubberized chip seal. The highway representative said formal notices will follow to the firms and that standard post-award procedures will apply. The Select Board did not record a separate vote on the awards during the meeting; the highway department presented the results as an announcement. The board agreed to follow up with formal documentation as required for contract execution. Why it matters: awarding FY26 roadwork contracts commits the town to capital projects that will affect roads and public works schedules; contractor selection initiates procurement and scheduling steps. Details and next steps: the highway office will send award letters to the listed contractors and proceed with pre-construction scheduling and required documentation.
