Board approves septic loan process for 44 Michaels Lane; selected contractor familiar with system
Summary
The board voted to advance a septic loan application for 44 Michaels Lane (loan requested $23,100; selected contractor quote $19,500) citing contractor familiarity with the existing system despite not being the lowest bidder.
The Town of Templeton Board of Health agreed to advance a septic loan application for 44 Michaels Lane at its April 7 meeting after reviewing quotes and contractor recommendations.
On behalf of the applicants, the presenter summarized that the owners requested a total loan amount of $23,100 to fund a full septic-system replacement and provided multiple contractor quotes. The board recorded that the selected quote was $19,500; the contractor was chosen because of familiarity servicing the existing system. The presenter noted it can be difficult to obtain three quotes because some firms will not provide estimates unless they are confident of winning the work.
Members discussed the two-quote situation and agreed it was acceptable under the circumstances. The board voted to move forward with the loan paperwork; the chair said she will send a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Co and complete the required forms for signature and witness.
No dollar disbursement was recorded at the meeting; members completed the procedural vote to proceed with the loan application and administrative steps.
