Summary

The board authorized bidding on a used bucket truck from Eversource, directed lawn-care services out to bid with an April 28 opening, and noted the Town Hall renovation project is out for bids with financing to be confirmed before acceptance.

The Board of Selectmen voted April 21 to pursue municipal procurement steps on several items. John Aldrich moved to approve placing a bid on a used Eversource bucket truck; First Selectman Dana Barrow Jr. seconded and the motion carried. The truck will be acquired through the bidding process, with details to be handled by the appropriate departments.

The board also discussed lawn-care services for the coming season and noted a significant price increase. The town has sent the lawn-care contract out to bid and will open proposals on April 28. Separately, Barrow said the Town Hall renovation project is currently out for bid; the town retains the right to reject all bids if financing is not secured, meaning the board will consider funding availability before awarding the contract.

No roll-call vote totals were recorded in the minutes for these procurement items; minutes only record that the motions carried.
