Council approves up to $45,000 to clear street‑garage yard of decades of debris
Summary
After a staff presentation describing years of accumulated spoil and debris at the town street garage, council approved contracting to remove approximately 300 truckloads and perform final grading and seeding, not to exceed $45,000.
Public works staff told the council the street garage yard had accumulated years of spoils and debris that exceed the capacity of in‑house crews and requested authority to contract ARW to remove roughly 300 truckloads and complete grading and seeding.
“I’m asking for $45,000,” said the staff presenter, explaining the town’s limited crew resources and the likely scope of hauling and disposal. Staff described efforts to locate lower‑cost disposal options for clean fill to reduce overall expense.
Council moved and approved a contract not to exceed $45,000 for debris removal and related work. Members emphasized the need for an ongoing standard operating procedure to prevent stockpiling and to ensure project sites are cleared promptly after work.
Why it matters: The cleanup will address an operational safety and aesthetics issue at the street garage, free up staging and parking, and reduce long‑term maintenance burdens.
Next steps: Staff will execute the contract, oversee final grading and seeding, and work to formalize an SOP to prevent recurrence.
