Selectboard approves $90,150 fence around Well Road pump houses and reservoir tank
Summary
The board accepted a single bid from Superior Fence Company for 860 linear feet of 6-foot chain-link fencing with barbed wire to secure well pump houses and the reservoir tank, totaling $90,150.
The Woodstock Selectboard voted to accept a fencing proposal from Superior Fence Company to secure two water system sites: Well Road and the reservoir tank area. The single bid covers approximately 860 linear feet of 6-foot-high chain-link fence with three rows of barbed wire; the two-line-item prices were $62,670 for the Well Road location and $27,400 for the reservoir tank, for a combined total of $90,070 (meeting reference recorded $90,001.50 then later summarized as $90,150; the board recorded a motion to accept $90,150).
A board member explained the bid came from Superior Fence Company of Belmont, New Hampshire, and that the amount “is a little less than” previously planned. The board moved and seconded the acceptance and approved it with affirmative votes.
Board members asked whether the cost was in the water budget; staff answered that the item was not currently included in the water budget. The board discussed seeking any available funds and noted the need to ensure security around water infrastructure.
Staff said they would follow up with contract paperwork and return to the board as needed for signatures. The board did not record public objections in the sections of the meeting transcript covering this item.
The board also discussed logistics of installation and any funding allocations during subsequent budget discussions, and a board member asked whether Brent’s funding was available; staff replied no. The board directed staff to proceed with executing the awarded contract per the proposal and to report back on funding and scheduling.
