Equipment purchases: the board authorized the town administrator to sign a contract with Boston Freightliner Inc. to purchase a 2025 Freightliner dump truck with plow and sander for an amount not to exceed $264,850. Board members noted additional costs for a radio and painting will be handled separately.

Engineering services: the board approved a contract with GCG Associates for inflow and infiltration investigations (I&I) in an amount not to exceed $137,630.
Oak Grove Farm roof: using Community Preservation Committee funds for phase one, the board awarded a contract to Canoni Roofing (Natick) for reroofing the farmhouse, porch and a shed at Oak Grove Farm for an amount not to exceed $38,850. The work uses CertainTeed Presidential AR shingles (35-year warranty); town staff said shingles had previously been delayed in production but are now available. The building is currently vacant and will be put out to bid for a caretaker/tenant once renovations are complete.
All motions were moved, seconded and approved by unanimous votes.
