Select Board approves skate‑park RFP with edits on material sourcing and 'as‑built' tracking
Summary
After discussing berm-material sourcing, insurance and as-built tracking, the board approved the skate‑park improvements RFP with amendments requiring contractors to track volumes moved and to offset any imported material into the floodplain.
The Select Board reviewed an RFP for skate‑park improvements and debated language requiring that berm material "can be harvested" from the central meadow versus making that a requirement. Members sought clarity so the floodplain would not receive imported fill without offsets. A board member asked for explicit language requiring contractors to track "as-built" volumes moved and to provide offsets if material is brought onto the floodplain.
After discussing insurance certificate norms and liability limits, the board approved the RFP with the requested amendments and instructed staff to publish the document and proceed to bid. A board member moved to approve the RFP "with the amendments we discussed after that," and the motion passed by voice vote.
Why this matters: the RFP release launches procurement for the skate-park project; the clarified language aims to protect floodplain integrity and ensure contractual as-built documentation for future resilience planning.
