Board approves $178,500 bid for Pond Road repairs despite single bid
Summary
The town accepted a single bid from Mechanical Epoxy Solutions for Pond Road repairs at $178,500, citing legal exposure if work did not proceed; the contractor is not available to start until September.
The Campton Board of Selectmen voted July 14 to accept a single bid of $178,500 from Mechanical Epoxy Solutions (MES) to repair Pond Road.
Town Administrator Kate O'Connor told the board the town received only one bid and recommended moving forward with MES because delaying the project could increase the Town's legal exposure. Town staff noted MES would not be available to begin work until September.
Selectman Mort Donahue moved to approve the MES bid for $178,500; Selectman Sherrill Howard seconded and the motion carried 4-1-0. The transcript records the tally but does not identify individual roll-call votes.
The board did not specify contingency details or funding sources in the meeting record; Town Administrator O'Connor said she would seek additional quotes for other projects where bids had been lacking.
