Select board reviews $96,000 truck-scale quote, recycling building fix and potential grant funding
Summary
Board members discussed a roughly $96,000 Fairbanks precast truck-scale option funded from unspent USDA grant money, and heard that engineers will remove the top 16 inches of a dividing wall in the recycling building to clear garage doors.
A select board member updated the board on transfer-station work and a possible truck scale, saying three scale quotes are in hand and local electricians are being contacted.
The presenter described a Fairbanks precast concrete scale under consideration and said the scale installation is estimated at about $96,000. The member said the work would be paid from remaining USDA grant funds so it would not require new taxpayer dollars; the board discussed options of full paving or partial paving to connect existing pavement depending on the final price.
On the recycling building, the board heard that engineers found the dividing wall between two bays would interfere with the garage doors. The contractor Cobalt confirmed the walls are not load-bearing and the engineers recommended removing the top 16 inches of the dividing wall so doors can fit; the contractor planned to implement the fix the following day.
The board asked for further cost details for the scale and noted there are three vendor quotes; the select board member said they would circulate cost information to board members ahead of the next meeting.
