Select Board approves $765,174 contract for Marsh Wellfield improvements, contingent on DES concurrence
Summary
Town engineers recommended awarding the Marsh Wellfield Improvements project to KE Stevens Incorporated (Newport) for $765,174.15; the Select Board approved awarding the contract contingent upon required documents and New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services concurrence.
Town manager Ed Morris said the competitive bid process for the Marsh Wellfield Improvements concluded with an engineer recommendation to award the project to KE Stevens Incorporated (Newport) for $765,174.15, roughly $30,000 less than a competing L&M bid. The board moved to award the contract to KE Stevens contingent on receipt of required contract documents and concurrence from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services; the motion authorized the town manager to execute documents to complete the project and passed by roll-call vote.
Board members asked how the award fit within the budget; Morris said that while he did not have all line-item numbers on hand, the award fits within the planned budget and the SRF loan that will finance the work. The motion directs the manager to finalize contract paperwork and secure DES concurrence before work begins.
