Selectboard awards Pudding Hill Road bridge repair contract to Simpson Dirtworx
Summary
At a special Sept. 30 meeting the Selectboard accepted Simpson Dirtworx's $84,000 bid to repair the Pudding Hill Road bridge, with work to be completed by Oct. 25, 2024; two higher bids were also on the record.
The Town Selectboard awarded the Pudding Hill Road bridge repair contract to Simpson Dirtworx in a motion passed at a special meeting on Sept. 30, 2024. Selectboard Chair Denis Royer II seconded a motion by Joe Solinsky to accept Simpson Dirtworx’s bid for $84,000 with a stated completion date of Oct. 25, 2024. The meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m. and adjourned at 9:48 a.m.
Clerk Patti McClure recorded three bids: Gravel Construction submitted $88,425 with a Nov. 15, 2024 completion date; Winterset Inc. submitted $180,000 with Dec. 1, 2024; and Simpson Dirtworx submitted $84,000 with Oct. 25, 2024. Leesa Gravel of Gravel Construction clarified that her firm’s bid “includes the travel from Hardwick,” specifying the bidder’s mobilization assumption. The transcript does not include a roll-call vote; it records that the motion passed after the second.
The board’s formal action authorizes the Highway Foreman, Shane Heath, and staff to proceed with contract execution and scheduling to meet the Oct. 25 completion target. Following the contract award, Selectboard member Joe Solinsky moved to adjourn; Denis Royer II seconded and the meeting ended at 9:48 a.m. No additional conditions, amendments, or funding sources were specified in the transcript.
