Selectboard approves ADA bathroom work; authorizes contract up to $50,000

Town of Manchester Selectboard · January 6, 2026

Summary

The Selectboard approved a contract with High-Tech Plumbing and Heating for ADA improvements to two hallway bathrooms, accepting a $13,400 bid but authorizing a not-to-exceed amount of $50,000 to allow for additional modifications.

The Town issued an RFP for ADA accessibility improvements to two hallway bathrooms in the Town Offices and received a single bid from High-Tech Plumbing and Heating for $13,400. Town Manager Scott Murphy said the bid appeared low relative to expected scope, and the board approved a contract with High-Tech 'not-to-exceed' $50,000 to permit additional modifications, storage creation, or unforeseen costs. The motion, made by Heidi Chamberlain and seconded by Jonathan West, passed 4-0.

The action authorizes staff to execute the contract within the approved not-to-exceed limit; the board did not identify a separate funding source at the meeting, but Murphy indicated that sufficient funding exists in the budget to cover the work and potential extras.
