Summary

Staff will order the culvert directly from Contact, have Contact send drawings to engineer Nate Ziegar, assign the product to the winning contractor for assembly, and request town-hall delivery to secure the large components.

The board directed staff to proceed with purchasing the culvert from Contact and also discussed operational details: staff will deal directly with Contact's sales representative, obtain the vendors paperwork and drawings, and provide those to engineer Nate Ziegar so contractors can bid and schedule assembly. The presenter said he would email the vendor and copy Aaron and Mike on the exchange so the purchase can proceed quickly.

On contractor responsibilities, the presenter said he will write the RFP to assign the product to the contractor, who will then be responsible for all parts, storage and assembly and must sign off on receipt to limit change orders. As the presenter put it, "They have to sign off on it that they received it," so that the town is not billed later for lost pieces or additional pack items. The board discussed taking delivery at town hall to keep the parts secure until the contractor is ready to assemble them on site.
