Hopkinton approves Weston & Sampson for comprehensive plan update
Summary
Council voted to award the comprehensive community plan update to Weston & Sampson after staff recommended the low bidder; the manager said the firm was well qualified and councilors approved the selection by roll call.
Hopkinton Town Council voted to award the RFP for the comprehensive community plan update to Weston & Sampson following staff review and reference checks.
The town manager explained the RFP process and said Weston & Sampson was the low bidder and had strong qualifications and references. One councilor noted a package typographical error in the materials (Simpson vs. Samson) but supported the manager's recommendation on the merits. A motion to award the project to Weston & Sampson carried on roll call.
The meeting transcript included a dollar figure that appeared garbled in the audio/transcript; the council relied on the packet and the manager's recommendation during the vote. Staff will finalize contract language and the project schedule after award.
Next steps: Contract execution and a project kickoff with the consultant; staff will return to council with a timeline and deliverables for the community plan update.
