Select Board approves SCBA purchase; discussion notes 5% local match
Summary
The board voted to award an RFP for SCBA equipment to a proposed vendor and discussed a local 5% match; the contract award was approved and will proceed to vendor contracting and purchase.
The Select Board approved an award for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) equipment during the March 9 meeting.
Staff described the award package (total discussed in the meeting approximately $34,975) and noted the town will carry a 5% local match for the purchase. The board voted to award the RFP to the proposed vendor and authorized staff to finalize procurement and contracting steps. The motion passed with all members present voting in favor.
The board did not debate the award at length; members said additional funds, if any, could be repurposed to other fire safety needs. Procurement paperwork and vendor contracting are the next administrative steps.
