Select Board awards $32,100 contract to repave part of DPW lot
Summary
The Boscawen Select Board voted May 20 to award a $32,100 contract to Peek Road Corp (formerly GMI) to repave roughly half of the municipal DPW parking lot, funded from the municipal building and grounds account; board members discussed related future work at the fire station and generator pad.
The Boscawen Select Board approved a $32,100 contract to repave about half of the municipal DPW parking lot and discussed related site needs at the town’s fire station.
Staff presented three quotes for the project and recommended moving forward with Peek Road Corp (formerly GMI). The board was told the municipal building and grounds fund has a current balance of $154,111; an earlier capital request had estimated the job at roughly $60,000. After discussion about future excavations for old fuel‑tank work and coordinating with a planned fire‑station pad, a board member moved to award the contract to Peek Road Corp for $32,100; the motion was seconded and approved by the board.
Why it matters: The DPW parking area serves town vehicles and site work at the municipal campus; repaving will address cracking and drainage and reduce short‑term maintenance needs. Board members noted that future work (inspection or fuel‑tank removal) could require digging up recently paved areas and discussed staging and scope to reduce wasted effort.
Associated decisions and next steps: Board members asked staff to coordinate paving schedules with planned fire‑station improvements and to monitor fuel‑tank inspection timelines so repaving does not conflict with required excavation. The board also discussed adding a generator pad for the fire station in a future capital request.
The vote was taken by voice; board members signaled approval and the motion passed.
