Cushing Selectboard delays Spear Mill and Hathorne Point paving amid contractor timing, budget concerns
Summary
Selectboard members said contractor scheduling and an insufficient town budget will delay paving and culvert work on Spear Mill and Hathorne Point roads; Select Board member Michael James will ask the bidder if they will honor their price and the board will revisit the matter June 23.
The Cushing Selectboard discussed paving and culvert bids for Spear Mill and Hathorne Point Road at its June 9 meeting, and members said the work will likely be delayed because the contractor cannot begin before July 31 and the town did not budget enough to cover the submitted bid.
Select Board member Michael James said he will contact the bidder identified in the minutes as Kalloch to ask whether the company will honor the bid price despite the town’s current budget shortfall. Board members noted that Kalloch’s earliest availability — after July 31 — would push back Mainly Paving’s schedule for the job.
The minutes do not specify the bid amounts, the town’s budget shortfall in dollars, or which contractor would be awarded the work; the board deferred further action and said it would discuss the item again at the June 23 Selectboard meeting.
Community members were listed as present in the minutes but the document does not record public comment on this agenda item. The board took no formal vote on the paving item at the June 9 meeting.
