Select Board awards Old Fire Station demolition to Curtus Earthworks for $18,300
Summary
After finding the low bidder repeatedly failed to perform, the Select Board voted unanimously to award the demolition and removal of the old fire station to Curtus Earthworks for $18,300, with the town attorney's approval.
The Town of Acton Select Board voted June 26 to award the contract to demolish and remove the town's old fire station to Curtus Earthworks for $18,300 after the initially selected contractor repeatedly failed to begin work. Chair David Winchell Jr. reviewed the contractor's no-show history and recommended moving to the next bidder; the motion to award the contract, made by Winchell and seconded by Edward Walsh, carried unanimously.
The board instructed town counsel to review the change before finalizing the award. No schedule for demolition or timelines were provided at the meeting. The decision follows continuing delays and unsuccessful communications with the prior contractor, Winchell said during the discussion.
The award is a contracted procurement action for public works and will now proceed to administrative steps that include notification of the contractor and any required bond or insurance confirmations. The board did not set a demolition start date during the meeting.
The Select Board adjourned later in the evening after completing the meeting's remaining agenda items.
