Selectpersons award three-year plowing contract to Tracey Brothers; trash pickup goes to Schoodic Curbside Recycling
Summary
At their Feb. 18 meeting the selectpersons voted to award a three-year plowing and sand contract to Tracey Brothers at $183,000 per year and a three-year trash-collection contract to Schoodic Curbside Recycling with year-one payment of $108,000; both motions passed unanimously.
The Selectpersons voted Feb. 18 to award two town service contracts covering winter road maintenance and municipal trash collection.
After Road Commissioner George Moon reviewed bids from five vendors, Jack Bridges moved and Carol Lowrie seconded a motion to award the plowing and sand contract to Tracey Brothers at $183,000 per year for a three-year term; the motion passed 5–0. The board separately awarded the trash pickup contract to Schoodic Curbside Recycling, without a performance bond, on a sliding three-year payment schedule of $108,000 in year one, $114,000 in year two and $120,000 in year three (motion by Bill Birdsall, second by Adam Foster; passed 5–0).
The contracts were approved during the new-business portion of the meeting after the board opened and reviewed bids from Nankervis, MacQuinn's, Tracey Brothers, BFP Trucking and TR Construction. The minutes record Road Commissioner George Moon presented the review and recommendation but do not include detailed scoring or bid-by-bid comparisons.
Both motions passed on unanimous 5–0 votes. The minutes do not specify start dates for the contracts beyond the three-year term for the plowing agreement, nor do they attach the full bid documents to the public minutes. Questions about insurance, bond requirements (the trash contract was explicitly awarded without a bond), or contract start dates were not recorded in the minutes.
