Selectboard awards FY26 fuel contract to Irving Energy at set prices
Summary
The Putney Selectboard approved a one-year fuel contract with Irving Energy, setting oil at $2.86 and propane at $1.532 per gallon for 11/01/25–10/31/26; the board noted tank placement concerns if vendors change.
The Putney Selectboard approved a one-year contract with Irving Energy for town fuel supplies, setting the price of oil at $2.86 and propane at $1.532 per gallon for the term Nov. 1, 2025 through Oct. 31, 2026. Aileen Tulloch moved to approve the contract and Rebecca "Bex" Slattery seconded; the motion passed.
Town Manager Karen Astley presented bids from five companies and said Irving submitted the lowest bid for propane while HB Energy had the lowest oil bid. Astley cautioned that "switching oil vendors means placement of oil tanks need to be evaluated, the one in Town Hall is questionable and would require digging into the foundation," and said she would investigate the tank placement issue before implementation. The board did not postpone awarding the contract pending that review.
The vote to award the contract was recorded as "Motion passed" in the minutes; detailed vote counts were not specified in the transcript. The contract term and dollar rates were set at the Nov. 12 meeting; implementation steps such as any required tank work will be determined by the Town Manager.
