Select Board approves paving, bridge engineering and acoustics contracts; large manifests cleared
Summary
At its June 15 meeting the Brookfield Select Board approved a $125,283 contract to pave sections of Clark and Lifford roads, entered a $27,000 engineering contract for Moose Mountain Bridge work and authorized acoustics-panel contracts with a $12,362 panel order (50% deposit) and $15,500 installation, and approved routine manifests including a $354,344 district payment.
The Brookfield Select Board voted June 15 to award a series of contracts advancing maintenance and building projects across town while approving routine bills and personnel housekeeping.
The board approved a $125,283 contract with Allstate Construction to pave Clark Road from the train tracks to Lifford Road and Lifford Road from Clark Road to the start of the dirt section. Public works staff described the work as chip-seal and additional base material to prevent more costly reclamation later; Chris Kinville said the scope targeted centerline cracking and areas identified by the town’s pavement-management plan. The board moved and approved the award and directed staff to complete contract signatures.
The board also authorized a $27,000 contract with Bay Engineering for engineering work on the Moose Mountain Bridge replacement. Select board members said the contract had been negotiated with town counsel and was ready to be signed the same night.
On a separate consent motion, the board approved purchase and installation contracts for acoustic panels for the town meeting space. The materials order is $12,361.96, with a 50% deposit required for production, and the installation quote is $15,500; the board approved signing the architectural-panel purchase and the installer (Carol County Construction) contract and confirmed payment terms that require no upfront deposit for the contractor and payment on completion.
Finance reported several manifests for payment, including routine payroll and vendor invoices and a $354,344 payment listed to the Governor Worth Regional School District due July 1. Town staff confirmed sufficient cash on hand to process the payments.
The board approved motions to sign the cited contracts and to authorize staff to execute the documents; members indicated they would sign the contracts at the meeting.
