Resident asks about bucket truck purchase; selectman says bid is pending and training required
Summary
At the May 19 meeting resident Bill Adams asked about buying a bucket truck and what operator certification would be required. Selectman Mike Gurnack said the town "has put in a bid for the purchase of a bucket truck from Eversource but have not heard anything" and described necessary training.
During the Audience with Citizens portion of the May 19 meeting, Bill Adams asked whether the town planned to purchase a bucket truck and what training or certification is required to operate it. Selectman Mike Gurnack replied that the town "has put in a bid for the purchase of a bucket truck from Eversource but have not heard anything," and explained the licensing and safety training typically required for bucket-truck operation.
Board members discussed the procurement question and training implications; no formal motion to purchase a truck was made during the meeting. The exchange established that procurement is in process (a bid submitted) but that the town has not yet received a response from the vendor, and that operator certification would be a requirement before in-service use.
