Hancock awards paving contract, plans to pave entire Austin Road with budget cap under $200,000
Summary
The Selectpersons voted 5-0 to award the Austin Road paving contract to Hopkins on the recommendation of Road Commissioner George Moon and approved moving forward with paving the whole road with a budget under $200,000.
Road Commissioner George Moon reviewed competing paving bids and recommended the board award the contract to Hopkins.
Selectperson William (Bill) Birdsall moved to accept Moon's recommendation and proceed with paving the entire Austin Road with a budget limit below $200,000; Selectperson Adam Foster seconded the motion, which passed 5-0. The board did not provide further detail in its meeting minutes about contract terms, start dates, or contingency allowances.
The paving decision follows public comments and earlier discussion of Austin Road's condition, including a public comment from resident Ruth Franzius who told the board the road is not paved to the end and raised a separate concern that a piece of plaster fell from her ceiling that she believes could be related to nearby blasting.
The Selectpersons recorded no dissent and did not specify a contractor start date at the meeting. The Road Commissioner later asked that a full project schedule and contract paperwork be prepared for board records.
