Pearson building committee adds member, selects low-bid architect
Summary
The Pearson building committee added Mark Douglas to fill a vacancy and reported selecting an architect for design work on a roughly $27,500 bid; the board approved the appointment and received a committee update.
The Board of Selectmen approved adding Mark Douglas to the Pearson building committee at the May 18 meeting after a committee member recused for a conflict of interest. Chair thanked departing member Rob Aslett for his service and the motion to appoint Douglas was seconded and approved with one abstention recorded.
Committee members reported that they held an initial meeting, established a standing monthly schedule and selected an architect. The committee said it accepted a low bid of $27,500 after vetting competing proposals that ranged significantly higher; the committee's advisor said he had worked with the bidder previously and was comfortable proceeding at the lower cost.
The board recorded the appointment and the committee's intent to proceed with the architect and next steps on planning; the committee will return with further details at subsequent meetings.
