Select Board unanimously approves water and sewer pipe rehabilitation contract
Summary
The Clinton Select Board approved a low-bid construction contract for water and sewer pipe rehabilitation, authorizing use of Enterprise funds and noting possible short-term borrowing to cover costs; the board voted unanimously.
The Clinton Select Board voted unanimously Jan. 21 to award a construction contract for water and sewer pipeline rehabilitation to the low bidder, Institute Form Technologies.
Town Administrator Micheal Ward said the work will address aging pipes by injection and will include root clearing and jetting to improve flow. "This update pipes by injection," Ward said, describing the scope of the repair work. Superintendent of Public Works recommended awarding the contract; Bill Connolly moved to approve the contract and Sean Kerrigan seconded. After discussion, "all were in favor," and the motion passed.
Ward told the board funds for the work will come from the Water and Sewer Enterprise funds and that the town may require short-term borrowing to cover the expense. The contract amount reported in the meeting record was transcribed as "1,18,4620"; the precise dollar figure was not clear in the packet or the verbal record provided at the meeting and therefore is not specified here.
The board did not record a detailed roll-call vote for this item beyond the unanimous consent. The Select Board packet lists the superintendent's recommendation and the low-bidder designation; town staff said further contract details and final signed amounts will be available in the municipal files and future meeting materials.
Next steps: town staff will finalize contract paperwork and notify the contractor to schedule the work; the board noted financing arrangements may include short-term borrowing and will return with specific funding actions if required.
