Town to seek engineering proposals for downtown drainage after $672,000 award
Summary
Board approved advertising for engineering services to pair a governor-awarded $672,000 grant with additional funding for a downtown drainage project; the full project was discussed as roughly $1.4 million in scope.
The board authorized advertising for proposals for engineering services on a downtown drainage project after Chair reported Governor Reeves had awarded $672,000 toward the work. The chair said the town would try to pair that award with additional DRA funding to reach the project's needs; the project was earlier estimated near $1.4 million to improve flood control.
Board members agreed to advertise for an engineering firm because in-house capacity was limited. The chair said staff will seek matching grants and prepare RFP materials; the motion to advertise for proposals passed with no recorded opposition.
Next steps: staff to publish the RFP for engineering services, pursue additional grant opportunities, and return to the board with proposals and funding recommendations.
