Town of Richland awards $197,532 salt shed contract to Eagle Contracting; wetlands delineation next
Summary
After reviewing bids with Highway Superintendent Kevin Balcom, the Richland Town Board unanimously awarded the Highway Department's salt shed contract to Eagle Contracting for $197,532, and authorized wetlands delineation with the town's engineering firm.
The Town Board reviewed bids for a new salt shed for the Highway Department and, after discussion with Highway Superintendent Kevin Balcom, voted to award the bid to Eagle Contracting in the amount of $197,532.00. Councilman Larry Atkinson made the motion to award the contract; Councilwoman Donna Gilson seconded. The minutes show a roll call vote of "AYE" by all present and record Councilman Eric Pappa as absent.
The board directed the next step to be delineation of wetlands; the engineering company has been contacted to begin that work. The minutes do not record a contract signing date, construction schedule, funding source in the town budget, or required permits beyond the wetlands delineation step. The award is recorded in the meeting minutes as an approved action but implementation details remain to be documented.
Why it matters: a new salt shed affects highway operations and winter road treatment logistics. The wetlands delineation could trigger regulatory reviews or permit conditions that affect siting and construction timing.
