Orleans council accepts low bid for well-house painting, approves payment for prior work
Summary
Council accepted a low bid of $1,900 to paint historic well-house woodwork and approved payment for a completed painting job of about $9,800; members discussed contractor selection and historic-material preservation.
Council members reviewed two painting quotes for wooden well-house trim and doors and agreed to accept the low bid for the new painting work. A staff member noted the town had to approve payment for previously completed painting work: "And tonight, we have to approve 9,800. Approve the payment for it," the speaker said.
After discussing costs and bids, the council moved to accept the low bid. As one member stated during the motion process, "motion that we accept the low bid for the painting and seconded." The council approved taking the low bid and directed staff to finalize the contract with the bidder whose quote was selected.
The work will involve scraping and repainting the wood doors and window trim to match the original 1915 appearance; staff indicated the contractor selected submitted the lowest responsible bid and will proceed under town procurement rules.
