Select Board approves $1,900 railing at transfer station after two people fell into dumpster
Summary
After two people fell into a dumpster at the transfer station, the Select Board approved Wilco's $1,900 proposal to install a two-rail system to prevent future falls and satisfy insurance concerns.
The Jefferson Select Board unanimously approved a $1,900 bid from Wilco to install a two-rail safety system at the transfer station on June 8, following an incident in which two people fell into a construction dumpster.
Select Chair Norman Brown said he inspected the dumpster with Wilco and confirmed dimensions; Wilco proposed the rail system and a combined installation cost of $1,900. Brown said the town’s insurance company would expect corrective action.
Brown made the motion to accept Wilco’s bid; Select Member Kevin Meehan seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Board members discussed how the rails would be installed and noted a separate, smaller bid for a shed roof remained open to solicit further responses.
