Summary
The Selectboard accepted Hanson & Son EarthWorks' $24,500 bid for spring/fall and light summer gradings and approved per-hour rates for additional work; the chairman abstained from the final vote.
The Bradford Selectboard voted on Feb. 2, 2026 to accept a grading contract from Hanson & Son EarthWorks for $24,500 covering two spring gradings, one fall grading and one light summer grading. The bid included a $160-per-hour rate for any additional needs.
Two higher bids were on the record: William W. Lundon & Son, Inc. offered $32,500 for the same schedule with a $160 hourly rate for extras, while GSE Contracting submitted a substantially higher offer at $82,000 with higher hourly equipment rates and mobilization fees. Boardmember Edward Nevells moved to accept Hanson & Son EarthWorks and Boardmember Carlene Oakes seconded the motion. The minutes record four in favor and Chairman Levi Surette abstaining from the vote.
The motion formalizes the town's selection of a low-cost bidder for routine grading under the town's road maintenance program. The minutes show the board considered price and hourly rates for additional needs when making the award.
