Town accepts $17,800 bid for Bolton Heritage Farm manure pit; construction to start when weather warms
Summary
Town officials accepted a $17,800 bid from The Andrew Ansaldi Company to build a manure pit at Bolton Heritage Farm, funded from repurposed ARPA money after demolition bids came in under budget. Work is scheduled to begin when weather allows; a completion date has not been set.
The Bolton Heritage Farm Commission was told Jan. 6 that the Town has accepted a $17,800 bid from The Andrew Ansaldi Company to construct a manure pit at the farm.
John Butrymovich, the Town’s building and grounds supervisor, said the project will be paid from ARPA funds that became available after demolition bids for the Notch Road Municipal Center came in under budget. He told the Commission he received three updated quotes and that The Andrew Ansaldi Company submitted the lowest bid, which the Town accepted.
Butrymovich said the work will include leveling the hump in the driveway and pouring a concrete pad. He said trenching for electrical or other wiring will be determined as the project approaches construction. "The Andrew Ansaldi Company came in with the lowest bid at $17,800, which has been accepted by the Town," he told the Commission.
Commissioners asked about the project schedule and whether a firm completion date had been set. Butrymovich said construction will begin when temperatures rise and ground conditions allow; no completion date has been determined.
Because the bid was accepted by the Town rather than taken as a formal Commission vote at this meeting, Commission members recorded the project details and asked Butrymovich to report back with trenching requirements and a construction timeline as the work approaches.
Next steps: the supervisor will confirm trenching needs and a start date once weather and site preparations permit.
