Summary
Town Manager presented a library request for $8,968.75 to mitigate basement moisture and install new heat pumps; Selectboard members asked whether the work was bid and learned the library obtained the bid, while town procurement policy caps purchases requiring town-level procurement at $5,000.
The Town Manager presented a library request for moisture mitigation work totaling $8,968.75 to address water entering the basement and to install new heat pumps. The request was listed on the Nov. 19 special meeting agenda but the minutes do not record a board vote on the item.
Selectboard Clerk Fletcher Proctor asked whether the work had been put out to bid; the Town Manager said she could not answer that question because the library had obtained the bid. The minutes note the town procurement policy allows purchases up to $5,000 without the town-level procurement process. The record does not specify the contractor, timeline, or whether the board will take formal action at a later meeting.
