Meeting approves lowest bid for public bathroom renovation
Summary
Participants reviewed two bids for a bathroom renovation (one at $14,280, one at $12,000 with a 10% contingency) and moved to accept the lower bid from Justin Stouter; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote (no roll-call tally recorded).
Participants reviewed two bids for remodeling the public bathroom. One bid, from Randy Smith Construction (submitted via Ryan Smith), was $14,280. A second bid from Justin (bidder) came in at $12,000 and included a 10% contingency clause for unforeseen issues. The board discussed optional FRP board sheathing (an additional $2,000), warranties and the desire to avoid delaying the project; bidders had 30-day quote windows and standard workmanship/manufacturer warranty language.
After discussion and a member recommendation to take the lower bid, a member moved to accept Justin Stouter's bid and another member seconded the motion. The group approved the motion by voice; the transcript does not record a numeric roll-call tally. The speakers noted they requested multiple bids but only two contractors submitted proposals.
Why it matters: Accepting a contractor starts work on a publicly used facility and commits town funds; the lower inclusive bid with contingency was chosen to expedite winter work.
Next steps: Contract details, a start date and any required permits were not included in the transcript and would be expected to be confirmed with town staff and the contractor.
