North Haven Select Board approves engineering contract to redesign transfer station
Summary
The board approved a $16,650 engineering proposal (about $17,100 including estimated reimburseables) for a transfer-station redesign to improve traffic flow and containment; the contract includes a survey and a phased approach with a board review before major design advances.
The North Haven Select Board authorized an engineering agreement to redesign the town’s transfer station to improve efficiency, safety and containment.
The board reviewed a proposal from Bartley Endorski (engineering) for survey and design work priced at $16,650 plus estimated reimburseables (roughly $17,100 total). The scope includes a topographic and site survey, revised circulation and pad locations to place compactors, recyclables and metal collection in a more compact, monitorable layout, and options to phase improvements to allow grant applications later.
Board members stressed the need for geotechnical and operational input and asked engineers to meet with staff before advancing detailed plans. The motion approved design authorization with a spending cap and an understanding that engineers will return for further approvals before committing to larger expenditures.
A board member noted permitting requirements (for example, concrete pads are necessary for many container or equipment placements) and suggested phasing the work so immediate regulatory compliance issues are addressed first. The transcript records the motion and a second; the board carried the authorization and asked staff to pursue grants and keep the public informed.
