Council approves $277,545 contract to resurface Craigfield parking lot
Summary
Westerly Town Council voted to award a $277,545 contract to resurface the Craigfield parking lot, using reallocated 'opera' funding and suspending council rules to expedite execution before a funding deadline. Council approved the motion by voice vote.
Westerly Town Council approved a $277,545 contract to resurface the Craigfield parking lot, a project the town said must be under contract by Dec. 31 for funding to be allocated.
Town Manager explained the bid and funding plan, saying the town is using reallocated "opera" funding from a prior allocation and that the lowest bid on the project was $277,545. He told the council the town needed to execute the contract by Dec. 31 to secure that funding.
Councilor Overton moved to suspend the council rules of procedure to consider the item at this meeting; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. A subsequent motion to approve the contract was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The council did not record a roll-call vote for the contract in the transcript beyond the affirmative voice votes announced at the meeting. The chair noted that an arriving councilor would sign the contract documents so they could be submitted for processing.
Next steps: staff will sign and execute the contract and proceed with procurement and scheduling for the resurfacing work, subject to any administrative requirements tied to the funding source.
