Board of Assessors to post Transfer Station attendant position after RFP draws no proposals
Summary
The Board discussed Transfer Station operations, noting no site-work RFP proposals had been received by the March 2 deadline, heard an estimated six- to eight-week construction timeline, and decided to post the attendant position to ensure continuity of service.
The Sandy River Board of Assessors discussed operations at the town Transfer Station on Feb. 24, 2026, after its site-work RFP drew no proposals by the March 2 submission deadline.
Ethna L. Thompson, the Board clerk, told members that no proposals had been received to date for the Transfer Station site-work RFP and that the deadline for submissions is March 2, 2026. The clerk said the item will be placed on the next meeting agenda for further discussion if proposals remain absent.
First Assessor Rodney Varney said the anticipated construction period for the project would be approximately six to eight weeks. The board noted that a replacement lock has already been purchased for the attendant building to improve access control and key management.
Board members also discussed reviewing Transfer Station operating hours with the current attendant at an appropriate time to ensure service needs are being met. To maintain continuity of service, the board determined that posting the attendant position is necessary.
The clerk said she would review records related to the cost of 'Fidium' service at the Transfer Station and report back to the board as needed. No formal contract awards, bid openings, or construction schedules were finalized at the meeting.
The Board is scheduled to revisit Transfer Station matters at a future meeting if the RFP yields proposals or if additional operational decisions are required.
