Committee approves replacement of broken front doors, sets $15,000 limit
Summary
The Richmond Town Center Committee agreed to replace the buildings broken main entrance doors, approved forwarding a quote to the select board, and amended the motion to cap committee-authorized spending at $15,000 pending select board action.
The Richmond Town Center Committee voted to pursue replacement of the broken front entrance doors and to forward contractor estimates to the select board with a $15,000 cap on committee-authorized spending.
Committee members discussed whether the work would be limited to access-control upgrades or include physical door replacement. Duncan explained the current plan focuses on electronic access control (fobs/cards/phone), while the main entry doors are visibly worn and may require full replacement.
After discussion about likely costs and procurement rules, a member moved to proceed with replacing the broken front entrance doors and to present estimates to the select board. The motion was amended to cap the committees approval at $15,000 before select-board review; the committee voted to approve the amended motion.
Members noted some uncertainty about exact cost estimates and said staff would seek multiple quotes and follow the towns procurement thresholds for staff approval versus select-board action.
