Recreation shed purchase tabled as board seeks comparable local quotes
Summary
The Recreation Committee presented three shed options (prices ranged from $8,300 to $16,801.93 plus slab costs). The Select Board asked for comparable local quotes and in-person viewings; the matter was tabled for further local comparisons.
The Recreation Committee narrowed shed options to three suppliers and presented them to the board Nov. 1. Quotes included Hillview Mini Barns (14x24 wood shed, $10,010.95, with leveling and a gravel base to be provided prior to delivery), Crazy Moose Amish Outlets (14x24, $8,300, base not provided) and EB Carports (24x31 metal building, $16,801.93 plus approximately $3,700 for a slab). Recreation Director Samantha Singleton said local companies and other quotes were reviewed.
Board members asked for comparable, local options and in-person viewings before awarding the purchase; Select Board Chair David Winchell, Jr. said the town must "view all options and stay within a certain radius." McGurty and others emphasized following precedent for in-person evaluations and comparable pricing. The item was tabled for follow-up and McGurty will work with the Recreation Director to obtain additional local quotes.
