Select Board approves $536,716 paving contract and contingent truck purchase
Summary
The board approved a $536,716.11 paving contract for Ridge Road and related work (contingent on funding verification) and authorized a contingent purchase of a Western Star dump truck ($314,946) plus a rebuilt hydraulic motor for a grader ($20,690), each contingent on finance confirming CRF balances.
The Department of Public Works presented quotes for summer roadway work — a shim and overlay on Ridge Road and reclamation on Brackett Road and Penny Lane — with a combined quote of $536,716.11. Staff said the town has $400,000 identified from CRF and an anticipated grant that together could finance the work; the board approved a motion to proceed contingent on the finance manager providing account balances and attaching the quote to a purchase order. The motion passed 3 to nothing.
DPW also presented a Western Star six‑wheel dump truck quote for $314,946 and showed the truck CRF balance (approximately $473,249) that would cover the purchase; the board approved a contingent purchase (contingent on finance confirming opening balances and attaching the PO) and agreed to keep the 2012 truck as a spare.
Finally, the board approved an urgent purchase of a rebuilt hydraulic motor for a grader final drive from Chadwick Bay Ross for $20,690.05 after staff reported a failure that required quick replacement. That motion also passed unanimously, contingent on the finance manager confirming available replacement‑equipment funds.
