Selectmen approve moving forward on new copier contract ahead of Oct. 1 price increase
Summary
After reviewing quotes and print‑charge proposals, the board voted to proceed with the business‑solutions (Toshiba) copier proposal to replace expiring contracts and avoid a scheduled price increase on Oct. 1.
The board voted on Sept. 22 to proceed with a new copier contract to replace expiring leases.
Staff presented options including Toshiba and other vendors with varying monthly lease and per‑print charges. Members noted that one vendor’s prices were set to rise Oct. 1, which factored into the decision. Speaker 2 moved to move forward with the business‑solutions proposal; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor to proceed in order to beat the Oct. 1 price change.
Details from the quotes (monthly lease, cost per print, contract exit timing) will be handled by staff and the town administrator; board members asked about the cost to exit existing contracts and noted several contract timing and print‑charge variables would be clarified.
