Foster council approves $4.68 million police station contract with New England Construction
Summary
The council voted to approve and sign a $4,680,000 contract with New England Construction for a new police station after reviewing design clarifications and a budget summary.
The Foster Town Council voted July 10 to approve and sign a $4,680,000 contract with New England Construction to build the town's new police station.
Councilors returned the contract to the meeting so members who had not previously reviewed supplemental materials could consider three design clarifications and a five-page budget summary. "So I'll entertain a motion to approve the signing of this contract," a councilor said before a motion and second were made. A subsequent voice vote recorded unanimous "Aye" responses and the motion passed.
Council members said the contract includes clarifications requested during the review process and that the package is ready to be signed. One councilor noted a single final clarification that reinforced a prior recommendation but otherwise confirmed the documents were in order.
The council did not provide a roll-call vote or individual vote tallies at the meeting; the decision was made by voice vote. No changes to the contract amount were made at the meeting. Councilors said construction activity should begin "very soon" now that the contract is approved.
