Selectboard signs Merck-funded town-garage insulation grant and approves equipment purchases
Summary
The board authorized a $96,000 Merck-funded spray-foam insulation contract for the town garage, approved a $7,085 pressure-washer purchase, and continued discussion on a contractor-grade mower and trailer options.
The selectboard authorized staff to sign a Merck-funded grant agreement to spray-foam-insulate the town garage, a project presented as 100% funded by the Merck energy-efficiency program. Staff said Trivers awarded a bid for spray foaming and that this phase complements prior garage-door work.
On equipment purchases, the board approved a motion to buy a contractor-grade pressure washer from Milton Rents for $7,085 after reviewing three vendor quotes. The board also discussed longer-term needs for a contractor-grade mower/tractor (possible Ventrac unit) with attachments (broom, blade, v-plow) and asked the buildings & grounds liaison and staff to continue vendor research and cost estimates before a later vote.
Next steps: staff will sign the grant agreement, coordinate timing with contractors, and bring a detailed procurement recommendation for a mower/tractor and attachments back to the board.
