Princess Anne staff seeks contractor dates for Bedford Street; CES provides Beechwood estimate
Summary
The town manager updated commissioners on street work pending a county contractor date for Bedford Street; CES provided a worst-case estimate for Beechwood repairs with a possible reduction if a camera inspection is unnecessary. Commissioners also asked for revenue details on the Washington Tavern and clarification of the Housing Board of Review's scope.
The town manager updated the commission on two primary street projects: Bedford Street work is pending coordination with the county and a contractor date, and Beechwood requires a scope-of-work from the contractor before paving can proceed. Staff said the contractor needs to finalize a valve replacement date with the county before the town can schedule full repairs.
Staff presented an estimate from CES for the Beechwood work and described a worst-case cost and a lower option if a camera inspection is not required. The staff member noted, “It's $13.30 $1,330, but it could be $980 less if they do not have to use a camera,” characterizing the higher figure as a worst-case scenario and the lower figure as conditional on not using camera work.
Commissioners briefly discussed local revenue matters, asking about the Washington Tavern tax contribution (a speaker cited a range “1.25 up to 2.5” percent), and asked staff to provide accurate revenue figures at a later meeting. The board also sought clarification on the Housing Board of Review’s jurisdiction and asked staff to send the charter-based description by email.
No formal votes were held; staff were directed to follow up with the county contractor, refine cost estimates with CES, and circulate the requested financial and board-scope information to commissioners.
