Council weighs remaining Town Hall renovation costs and raises procurement thresholds
Summary
Vice Mayor Marion Chateau-Flagg outlined remaining interior renovation costs (drywall, flooring, plumbing, electrical) and the council voted 4-0 to raise procurement thresholds, changing quote and bidding requirements for purchases and services.
Vice Mayor Marion Chateau-Flagg updated the council on remaining Town Hall renovation work, saying drywall for ceilings and walls will be the largest expense followed by flooring, plumbing and electrical. She provided two drywall estimates — Drywall Dan, Inc. at $18,000 and Nakamura Drywall Inc. at $17,500 — to inform the council's planning.
Separately, the council approved changes to the procurement policy by motion of Council Member Kathleen Hoock, seconded by Council Member Alexandra Powell-Sardinas. The updated thresholds require two quotes for purchases of $1,000–$20,000, three written quotes for $20,000–$50,000, and advertised competitive bidding for purchases over $50,000. The Town Attorney will prepare a resolution to ratify the policy changes.
