Granville reviews culvert shortfalls, estimated purchase cost and video-system quotes for town facilities
Summary
The Selectboard discussed road repair needs and culvert shortfalls, reviewed per-piece costs and a $5,200 purchase estimate, and compared video/camera system quotes and electrical work needed to install exterior cameras.
The Granville Selectboard reviewed immediate road maintenance needs and equipment purchases, in particular a shortfall of culverts for planned culvert replacement work and the options for a town video/camera system.
Chair described the culvert situation: "We have 7 culverts in stock. We need 16 culverts..." and laid out per-piece pricing for materials discussed: a 24-inch piece at $536 each and an 18-inch piece at $565 each. Chair reported an estimated purchase total for the pieces discussed of "$5,200." The board instructed staff and highway contacts to call suppliers and have deliveries sent to the firehouse when available.
On facility security, the chair and committee members compared vendor quotes for a video system; one quote was nearly $17,000 while another option was notably smaller. Members discussed wiring, sensor placement and the need for an electrician to relocate boxes and ensure reliable exterior camera function before the system will perform as needed.
Next steps: staff were asked to place the order for culvert pieces identified as urgent, coordinate delivery logistics with the firehouse, and get firm quotes and schedules from the selected video-system contractor and electrician. No formal procurement award or recorded roll-call vote was taken in the meeting transcript.
