Burrillville council re-appropriates ARPA funds and awards $761,626 municipal fuel-depot contract
Summary
The council returned $471,437.39 to capital, approved $800,000 in ARPA funds for a municipal fuel depot, and awarded bid #24-011 for $761,626 (plus 5% contingency) to a contractor; several other ARPA appropriations were approved.
At its Sept. 11 meeting the Burrillville Town Council approved multiple financial actions tied to American Rescue Plan Act funds and awarded a contract for the municipal fuel depot project.
The council approved a motion to re-appropriate $471,437.39 from the municipal fuel-depot capital account back into the town's major capital fund to allow more flexible use of those funds. The council then approved appropriating $800,000 in ARPA funds for the municipal fuel-depot project.
Jeffrey McCormick, the town's DPW director, described the project and the bid process and recommended awarding bid #24-011 to Ramon Brothers for $761,626. A council motion directed the award to the low bidder with a 5% contingency, establishing a total project budget of $800,000 funded from ARPA; the motion passed on a voice vote.
Other ARPA decisions approved at the same meeting included an appropriation of $9,639.12 to outfit Harrisville Fire District water vehicles with radios for the town's 800 MHz radio system.
The council recorded these votes by voice; the meeting transcript shows the motions were seconded and passed with all those present saying 'Aye.' No roll-call vote counts were recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
