The Cranberry Isles Select Board voted 3-0 on Jan. 6, 2026 to accept a $339,700 bid from John Goodwin Jr. Construction to reconstruct the Manset parking lot.
The board reviewed three timely bids: Whitcomb Contracting at $247,850; John Goodwin Jr. Construction at $339,700; and Gardner Concrete at $407,000. A fourth bid arrived after the submission deadline and was not reviewed. Ingrid Gaither moved to accept the John Goodwin Jr. Construction bid; Chair Katelyn Damon seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Board members discussed bid timing and the late submission but took no action to reopen the procurement. The minutes do not record any financing details, immediate start date, or contract terms; those items were not specified and will require follow-up by town staff.
The decision follows routine procurement procedures recorded in the meeting minutes and concludes the board's formal action on the Manset parking lot at this session. The board did not record any amendments to the motion. Follow-up steps (contract execution, schedule, and funding source confirmation) were not specified in the minutes.
