Select Board weighs three bids for town road striping; foreman to negotiate with local firm
Summary
Winhall's highway foreman reviewed three bids for road line striping (K5: $17,725; L&D: $21,500; Green Mountain: $27,900). The board directed further discussion with Green Mountain about timelines and contract terms given local availability and scheduling needs.
Highway Foreman Trevor Dryden presented three bids for the town’s line-striping contract: K5 at $17,725, L&D at $21,500, and Green Mountain at $27,900. Dryden told the board he has worked with all three firms and emphasized scheduling and budget trade-offs.
Chair E. Stuart Coleman noted prior service issues with K5, saying, “we have not had great service with K5.” Several board members said a higher price could be justified if a local contractor ensured timely completion; Christie Boswell moved that Dryden contact Green Mountain with contract terms and timelines, a motion the board approved unanimously. Dryden noted he will be out of town May 14–20 and will report back with any revised proposal or schedule from Green Mountain.
The board did not award the contract at the meeting and directed town staff to bring back any revised bids or contractual timelines for final action.
