Canal Street lighting nearly complete; board to review bids for overlook on Nov. 26
Summary
Town staff reported Canal Street lighting is complete except one fixture and that an invitation for bids for the Canal Street overlook has been issued to three local vendors, with pricing due Nov. 22.
Town staff told the Board of Selectmen on Nov. 12 that Canal Street’s long-awaited lighting project is essentially finished — all but one fixture are operational and crews expect a minor wiring repair. The administration said it plans a press release that will include project funding details once the final completion is confirmed.
An invitation for bids for a nearby Canal Street overlook was issued to three local contractors; bids covering landscaping elements (pavers, plantings and granite benches) are due Nov. 22. Staff said the bid does not include engraving or a plaque for the monument and that the board will be presented with pricing at the next meeting.
Context: The board discussed an approximate $130,000 balance of unallocated project funds and a previously approved $100,000 allocation for ADA-related work; staff warned the $130,000 figure may change once outstanding invoices and change orders are reconciled.
What the board asked staff to do: prepare a press release with funding sources for Canal Street when the project is fully complete and present the returned bids and final ARPA balance at the Nov. 26 meeting.
