Select Board accepts Allstate Construction paving proposal; asks staff to price reclaim/base repairs
Summary
With one bid received, the board accepted Allstate Construction's paving quote and directed staff to negotiate additional reclaiming and base work for frost‑heaved sections, with some costs to span two fiscal years.
The Select Board reviewed a single paving proposal for this fiscal year from Allstate Construction (paving $126,351; shoulder gravel $11,700). Staff and the road foreman said frost heave damaged about half a mile of road that will require reclaiming and additional base material before top‑coating.
Because only one responsive bid was received, board members accepted Allstate’s proposal as presented and asked staff to pursue a combined contract that would include reclaim/base work priced so payments could be split across two fiscal years if necessary. A representative from Allstate was present for questions. The board voted to accept the proposal and asked to receive final pricing for reclaim and base work when available.
Why it matters: The town addressed an immediate pavement need and aligned contracting to allow necessary base repairs while managing fiscal timing across two budget years.
Next steps: Staff will meet with Allstate to finalize pricing for reclaim and base materials, prepare contract language to allow split‑year payment, and return to the board with final numbers.
