Board accepts single snow‑plowing bid from Firmly Rooted after brief discussion
Summary
The board accepted a single bid from Firmly Rooted for snow plowing (multi‑year rates) after questions about the inch‑range pricing; the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded roll‑call tally.
At the Dec. 4 Henniker School Board meeting, administrators presented a single snow‑plowing bid and the board voted to accept it.
Administrators said the district solicited bids for snow removal and received one proposal from the incumbent contractor, Firmly Rooted, which offered set rates for the next three seasons. One board member asked about how the bid’s pricing scales applied to snowfall ranges that straddled the delineated inches; administrators said they would seek clarification but recommended accepting the bid to ensure snow removal coverage. “We put our snow a bid out for a snow plowing again… we ended up only getting, 1 bid, which is from our current, our current contractor, firmly rooted,” an administrator said.
The board moved to accept the bid; the motion was seconded and the board approved it by voice. The meeting record shows a voice vote: “All in favor of accepting the bid from firmly rooted, signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Any abstain?” There was no roll‑call tally recorded in the minutes.
Administrators noted they would follow up to clarify the pricing categories in the bid paperwork and to document that clarification before the district executes the contract.
