Council awards Town Farm pickleball/tennis contract to Masiano Brothers
Summary
The council approved awarding the Town Farm pickleball and tennis court contract to Masiano Brothers Incorporated based on the renovation committee’s bid recommendation; the transcript records the motion and approval but the contract amount is unclear and requires verification from staff.
The Tiverton Town Council voted Oct. 28 to award the contract for Town Farm’s pickleball and tennis court work to Masiano Brothers Incorporated after the Town Farm renovation committee reviewed bids and recommended the vendor.
Committee members shared renderings of the proposed fitness-park and playground elements and said the project is close to completion on the fitness portion. The contractor selection was presented as consistent with the RFP and committee recommendations; councilor John made the motion to award the contract and the motion was seconded and approved on the floor.
Discussion during the presentation addressed surfacing (engineered wood fiber for playground areas), potential reuse of existing light poles, and minor scope flexibility built into the awarded bid. The transcript contains a spoken dollar amount for the award that is garbled and inconsistent; staff contemporaneously acknowledged figures but the precise contract total is not clearly recorded in the transcript and should be confirmed with the town administrator and contract documents.
Council praised the committee’s work and indicated that further vendor meetings would be scheduled to finalize details.
