Select Board authorizes invitation for bids for parcel behind 34 School Street
Summary
Following a prior town meeting authorization, staff requested and the Select Board approved issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to sell the parcel behind 34 School Street (Assessor Map 79, Parcel 16110957) to the highest bidder without conditions.
The board voted to declare the parcel behind 34 School Street (Assessor Map 79, Parcel 16110957) available for disposition and to authorize issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to sell the property to the highest bidder without conditions.
Staff explained that town meeting previously authorized the select board to dispose of the property and that the parcel is a small strip located behind a local florist; there was at least one interested party before town meeting, staff said, and issuing an IFB will test market interest and determine acceptable terms. Board members asked for clarification about prior interest and were told there had been an interested party prior to town meeting but no formal offers since.
A motion to declare the parcel available for disposition and to issue the IFB was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff said standard procurement procedures will follow the IFB timeline and the town will accept the highest bidder without conditions.
