Select Board schedules Aug. 4 public hearing for Stickney Road work using available budget funds
Summary
The Select Board reviewed three quotes for Stickney Road and agreed the $149,000 budget line likely covers the paving/reconstruction; the board scheduled a public hearing for Aug. 4 to decide whether to proceed and select a contractor.
Board members reviewed three contractor bids for work on Stickney Road and discussed whether the project constitutes paving or reconstruction under the existing budget line. A board member noted $149,000 has been allocated in this year's paving account; staff and members agreed that if the work fits the paving/reconstruction language in the budget, it can proceed without a special town meeting.
Members agreed to hold a public hearing on August 4 so residents can review the quotes and the board can make a final decision at the next meeting. The board asked members to study the bid packages in the meantime and to ensure chosen contractor availability would meet the town’s timetable for completing work before the November 1 deadline mentioned in discussion.
No final contract was awarded at the July 21 meeting; the public hearing will be the forum for public comment and final board action.
