Marlborough selectmen approve town office furnace contract, IT meter starter package and registers
Summary
At the Aug. 5 meeting the Marlborough Board of Selectmen approved payroll and accounts-payable registers, awarded a furnace contract to Lawrence Brothers Plumbing & Heating, and approved a NeptuneIT starter package for radio-reading water meters; votes were unanimous.
The Marlborough Board of Selectmen approved routine payroll and vendor payments, awarded a contract to replace the town office furnace, and approved a starter package for radio‑reading water meters during their Aug. 5 meeting.
Selectman Nelson moved to approve the Aug. 7 Direct Deposit Register for $12,977.90 and the Accounts Payable Register for $31,574.67; Selectman Pitt seconded and the board approved the motion unanimously. Selectman Pitt then moved to approve the July 30 and Aug. 1 meeting minutes; Selectman Nelson seconded and that motion also passed unanimously.
On facilities procurement, the board reviewed three bids to install an oil furnace (previously used at the Transfer Station/Recycling Center) at the Town Office and provide a concrete slab. Quotes were: Lawrence Brothers Plumbing & Heating $3,725; Keating Plumbing & Heating $4,200; Climate Control Mechanical, LLC $6,500. Selectman Pitt moved to award the work to Lawrence Brothers, citing the vendor’s long history servicing the Town Office furnaces and the lower cost; Selectman Nelson seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The board also considered water‑meter proposals and posed follow-up questions to a vendor (TI Sales) on volume discounts, annual costs for the MRX radio reader, and which system components require extended service contracts. After that discussion, Selectman Pitt moved to approve the NeptuneIT Starter Package (MRX920 hardware and one year of N360 SaaS Essentials, including setup); Selectman Nelson seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The board did not record any split votes; each formal motion in the meeting passed by unanimous vote. The meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
