Select Board accepts $43,000 bid for harbor storage/utility building
Summary
After reviewing four bids, the board accepted Lowell Family Contractors' low bid of $43,000 for a weather‑tight harbor storage/utility shell and approved the award unanimously.
The Select Board voted Jan. 20 to accept a low bid of $43,000 from Lowell Family Contractors for a harbor storage/utility building shell.
Town staff presented four bids for the shell structure intended to house equipment at the harbor. The lowest bid, from Lowell Family Contractors, totaled $43,000; the next lowest was roughly $96,000 with two others above $106,000. Staff recommended the low bid as the best option to fit the budget.
A motion to accept the Lowell Family Contractors bid carried on a unanimous voice vote. The board did not record conditions or amendments to the award during the public discussion. Town staff indicated the shell will provide secure, weather‑tight space for harbor equipment and noted budget constraints prompted selection of a wood building after steel costs rose.
The board’s vote authorizes staff to move forward with contracting and project implementation consistent with the bid terms and applicable procurement rules.
