Chelmsford awards Sunshine Paving and WPI Construction contracts totaling more than $1 million
Summary
At its June 1 meeting the Select Board awarded three DPW‑recommended bids: Sunshine Paving (Bay School paving) $671,318.80; WPI Construction (roof replacement at DPW and part of school admin) $434,890; and Pro City Facility Services (one‑year cleaning contract) $45,710.
The Select Board on June 1 approved three public‑works contract awards recommended by DPW and the town manager.
DPW staff presented results from competitive bidding and recommended the lowest responsive and responsible bidders. The board voted to award: - Sunshine Paving of North Chelmsford for Bay School capital improvements (paving, ADA work) for $671,318.80; - WPI Construction, Inc. for roof replacement at the DPW facility (54 Richardson Road) and a portion of the school administration building (230 North Road) for $434,890; - Pro City Facility Services for one‑year cleaning services at multiple town buildings for $45,710.
DPW director Christine Clansancy (referenced during the bid discussion) noted prior work with the recommended vendors and staff confirmed Sunshine Paving is a local bidder. The cleaning contract was discussed as a one‑year award; board members asked whether multiyear terms or optional extensions might be considered if the vendor performs well.
All three awards were approved by motion, second and unanimous vote. Town staff will return with contract documents and next steps for project scheduling and installation.
The combined amount of the two capital awards is approximately $1.106 million; the cleaning contract is a one‑year operating expense. The board did not identify contingencies beyond the standard contracting and permitting requirements.
