Town of Orange Selectboard approves emergency repairs to Reservoir Road up to $7,500
Summary
At an emergency meeting June 9, 2026, the Town of Orange Selectboard approved a Green Mountain Paving bid of up to $7,500 to repair potholes on Reservoir Road between Route 302 and the water plant and authorized the chair to sign the agreement.
Selectboard Chair Steve Simpson said June 9 that the Town of Orange would accept a Green Mountain Paving bid of up to $7,500 to repair potholes on Reservoir Road between Route 302 and the water plant.
The emergency meeting, called to order at 4:46 PM, focused on immediate safety concerns on the roadway. The board reviewed a proposal from Green Mountain Paving dated June 9, 2026, described in the record as not to exceed $7,500 and signed by a person identified only as Dustin. Meeting minutes state that the work is anticipated to begin "this week" and take place "over the course of a couple of days." The record also notes that Matt (not a speaker on the record) contacted the contractor to obtain the estimate.
Selectboard Chair Steve Simpson moved to accept the bid, with Selectboard member Carmella Tucker seconding. The board discussed the emergency nature of the meeting because of the limited timeframe and the opportunity to complete repairs quickly. The minutes record the vote as "All in favor. Motion carried." The board then voted to authorize the Selectboard chair to sign the agreement; that motion also passed unanimously.
The meeting concluded with a motion by Carmella Tucker to adjourn at 4:50 PM, seconded by Steve Simpson. The Selectboard did not record additional details about funding sources, contract start date beyond "this week," or the full name of the person who signed the proposal; those items are not specified in the minutes.
