Summary

The Select Board approved signing a contract with GPI to complete engineering closeout work for the MassDOT Brookline Street project and close the project; approval was conditional on town counsel and town council review.

Town staff told the Select Board that work on the MassDOT Brookline Street project is nearly complete and that GPI had overseen much of the engineering. Staff requested the board approve a contract with GPI so the town can finalize the report and complete project closeout.

“We just need this report and signing it so that we can close that out,” a staff member said. The board moved to approve the GPI contract for Brookline Street engineering MassDOT work as presented, with the chair noting the approval would be subject to town counsel and town council sign-off.

The board recorded a roll-call vote in favor of the contract, with members voting yes as transcribed. Staff flagged that final signature and execution are contingent on town-council-level review and any legal approval required by town counsel.
