Select Board debates paving bids and grant timing; $44,000 Springfield quote cited
Summary
Members discussed rejecting current paving bids and the trade-off that choosing to wait could require accepting a Springfield paving quote of $44,000, which would increase the town's share; a recommendation to reject the bids and revisit in the budget cycle was made but the transcript does not include a recorded final vote.
Board members reviewed the paving bids and grant reimbursement implications. One member explained that if both bids are rejected the town can still seek reimbursement for work already done on Route 121, but if the town delays it may need to accept the Springfield paving quote of $44,000 and that would increase the town's share of the cost.
Members recommended rejecting the current bids and re-evaluating paving plans during the budget process. A motion to reject the paving bids was made and seconded; the public transcript ends before a formal roll-call vote is recorded. Members noted the town could still seek reimbursement for completed work and that timing and grant documentation will drive next steps.
