Town to rebid interior painting after lowest bidder disappears; public hearing set for speed‑limit change
Summary
After the low bidder for an interior‑painting job stopped responding, the Town will reissue the RFP to meet ARPA spending timelines; the police chief also asked for a public hearing to establish a 15 mph speed limit on Wood River Circle and recognized DUI enforcement officers.
During reports at the Nov. 19 Richmond Town Council meeting, town staff updated members on several administrative items.
Town staff reported they had earlier authorized Scholar Painting to do interior work for $63,430 with prevailing wage. That contractor subsequently became unresponsive and the next-lowest bid would make the full project cost roughly $111,100, so staff proposed completing only the first floor or reposting the RFP. The administrator told council that because the work would use ARPA funds the town must act before the end of the funding window; a councillor moved to instruct the town administrator to reissue the painting RFP (14‑day minimum), which the council approved.
Separately, the police chief requested the council authorize a public hearing to consider setting a 15 mph speed limit for Wood River Circle; the council voted to schedule the public hearing. The chief also publicly thanked officers Sergeant Laterio and Officer Paul Marshall for DUI enforcement recognition, noting the awards and local public‑safety impact.
What happens next: The town administrator will repost the painting RFP and the council will schedule a public hearing on the proposed speed‑limit ordinance amendment.
