Votes at a glance: Harwich Water & Wastewater Commissioners (meeting actions)
Summary
The board approved routine items including the consent agenda and several internal adjustments, denied two customer abatement requests (and required written reasons), awarded the Skid-steer and Route 28 contracts, and set immediate outreach and follow-up tasks.
At the meeting the Harwich Board of Water and Wastewater Commissioners recorded the following formal actions and votes:
- Consent agenda: Approved (motion moved and seconded; roll-call result recorded as unanimous).
- Abatement: 36 Standish Wood Circle (leak recorded Jan. 21–Feb. 27; total bill $2,400; owner requested $1,000). Motion to deny carried; the board amended the denial to require the staff letter to include reasons and references to department rules, include the seasonal-service brochure and offer a payment plan.
- Abatement: 435 Route 137 (running toilets; $1,552). Motion to deny carried on roll call.
- Quarter 4 internal adjustments (water & wastewater) approved in the amount of $2,515.84; a separate water-usage internal adjustment for $113.80 was approved.
- Skid-steer procurement: Contract approved with Southwest Milton Pat dba Milton Pat for $90,888 (procurement contract template used; roll-call vote carried).
- Route 28 water-main replacement: Awarded to Dig It Construction for $6,418,781.85 after staff determined two bids were nonresponsive for missing a mandatory pre-bid conference. The board approved the award and directed staff to begin abutter outreach and preconstruction planning.
For each approval the board recorded motions, seconds and roll-call votes; the staff will circulate standard denial letters and outreach drafts for commissioner review. Several items were recorded as "under advisement" (not final action) including CWMP follow-up and consultant-team introductions.
Next procedural steps include circulating the Route 28 abutter letter, scheduling the contractor preconstruction meeting and inviting GHD to present its team and project update at the commission's next meeting.
