Health Director Andrew Petty told the Marblehead Board of Health that the town’s transfer-station project went out to bid in October. Sub-bids were due Nov. 13, general bids are expected Nov. 27, and staff plan to award the contract at the board’s Dec. 10, 2024 meeting. Petty said the project timeline aims for a mid-March 2025 start and an approximately 120-day construction timeframe, and he emphasized the need to manage costs and complete the project on schedule and, if possible, under budget.
Petty also said the transfer station will transition to a cashless system in the new year; credit cards will be accepted at no additional fee. He distributed copies of draft tobacco and body-art regulations for members to review and noted that permit-renewal reminders will be sent to permit holders.
No formal vote on procurement or regulations was recorded in the minutes excerpt; the board expects to consider bid awards and related decisions at future meetings.
