Selectboard accepts $3,500 road-grading bid, approves steel plates purchase and schedules culvert inspections
Summary
The board accepted Frank Boyle's $3,500 bid for road grading, voted to buy steel plates for $2,025 (including delivery), and directed John Littlefield and Road Commissioner Robin Gutierrz to inspect four main-road culverts and propose a plan.
Road maintenance and safety projects were a major focus of the Sept. 3 Selectboard meeting. Robin Gutierrz reported contacting five contractors and presented a bid from Frank Boyle for $3,500 to grade town roads (grading only, no sod removal); the board voted to accept Boyle's bid. The board also approved purchasing steel plates for $2,025 including delivery to use on road projects and identified seven culverts needing jetting, four of which are on the main road and will be inspected by John Littlefield and Robin to develop a repair plan.
Robin said she had marked 14 trees with orange squares for fall cutting related to the sea wall and that some tree work is urgent; the board discussed contacting Vermont Electric about poles and wires and plans to pave New Road/West Shore. The minutes record the board's acceptance of the grading bid and the steel-plate purchase but do not list vendor contracts or firm schedules for paving or culvert work.
