Select Board accepts $63,000 offer for town lot, awards $400,000 plow contract and appoints Doug Finch
Summary
The Limerick Select Board voted July 21 to accept a $63,000 cash offer on Map 38 Lot 3, approved a $400,000 road-plowing contract with Richardson's Trucking and Excavation and appointed Doug Finch to the appeals board; the board also authorized staff to sign a change order for the Central Avenue CDBG project.
The Limerick Select Board approved several formal actions at its July 21 meeting, moving a set of routine but consequential items forward.
Sale of town lot: The board accepted offer number 2 — a $63,000 cash offer with a $1,500 deposit and no inspection contingencies — for Map 38 Lot 3 on Fisher Drive after a realtor recommended that the board accept that bid as the strongest of three. A motion to accept offer number 2 was made and seconded and the chair called for a vote; the motion carried. The lot was marketed with an asking price of $55,000.
Plowing contract: The board reviewed road-plowing bids and voted to award the municipal plowing contract to Richardson's Trucking and Excavation for $400,000. The motion to approve Richardson's bid was moved, seconded and approved.
Appointment: The board appointed Doug Finch to the appeals board after a motion and second; the appointment carried.
Change order authorization (Central Avenue): Separately, the board voted to allow Howard to sign a change order for the Community Development Block Grant-funded Central Avenue project, with the water district offering to cover any deficit; that motion passed with one member abstaining because they had not had time to review the paperwork.
