Fairfield submits paving and culvert grants; paving bids to open May 11 while Chester A. Arthur paving awaits grant result
Summary
Town submitted a paving grant and a North Road culvert grant; the Selectboard revised the paving bid document, set May 11 for bid openings, and said the length of Chester A. Arthur Road to be paved depends on the outcome of the paving grant expected by the end of May.
Fairfield officials reported that the town submitted a paving grant and a separate grant application for a North Road culvert replacement and reviewed a revised paving bid document that is to be posted before Town Administrator Cathy Ainsworth’s vacation.
The Selectboard set May 11 as the date for opening paving bids. The minutes state the precise length of Chester A. Arthur Road to be paved will be determined after the paving grant decision, which the board expects by the end of May. The board also requested follow-up on a previously sent letter to the Secretary of Transportation asking that Chester Arthur Road bridge be prioritized in the state’s capital plan; Cathy will check whether the bridge appears in the state capital budget.
The minutes do not include the grant amounts requested, grant program names, or engineering estimates. Staff follow-up is needed to confirm the grant program, requested amounts, paving limits, and any matching funds.
