RSU 20 board approves pest control, waste, plowing and HVAC contracts
Summary
The board approved vendor contracts including Terminex for pest control, Cassella for waste/recycling (no other bidder), Brad Aken & Sons for plowing and Seammens for HVAC after a negotiated price reduction.
The RSU 20 Board of Directors approved several vendor contracts recommended by the Buildings & Grounds committee. The board moved to award a pest control contract to Terminex and a waste/recycling contract to Cassella, which board members noted was the sole bidder for waste services.
The board also approved Brad Aken & Sons for plowing and sanding; committee members highlighted the vendor's equipment and the preference to use a snowblower on sidewalks rather than plows. Finally, the board approved an HVAC contract with Seammens after staff reported the contractor lowered its price by $15,000 following follow-up negotiations.
Board members asked routine procurement questions during discussion, including whether alternative vendors had bid and about prior-year vendors; the board recorded each contract approval with an "all in favor" voice vote. The board directed staff (Bob and Josh) and the Buildings & Grounds team to finalize contract paperwork and proceed with implementation.
