Selectboard asks vendor to explain nearly $8,000 radio quote for town vehicles
Summary
The board reviewed a quote for mobile radios, base station equipment and an antenna for town vehicles and the garage totaling just under $8,000 and requested an itemized explanation and a vendor presentation at the next meeting.
Chair (Speaker 1) reviewed a communications quote from Brian Westcomb that covers radios for town trucks and a base station; the chair said the shipping and handling plus equipment costs were “just shy of $8,000 for new radios.”
Committee members asked for an itemized quote and invited the vendor to the next meeting to explain the equipment list and how the base station and antenna would be installed. The board noted the potential benefits of internet‑based radio systems but asked staff to confirm which vehicles will receive replacements and whether the quoted antenna and grounding work are necessary.
