Summary
The Selectboard ratified accepting Bazin Brothers' bid of $10 per yard (approx. 6,000 yards) to crush rock into gravel; a second bid from Hunter Excavating was $12 per yard. Vice Chair Craig Hammer raised concerns about knotweed in the crushed material.
The highway department solicited bids to crush on-site rock into gravel and received two bids: Bazin Brothers at $10 per yard for approximately 6,000 yards and Hunter Excavating at $12 per yard. Selectboard Chair Scott M. Reed moved to ratify the decision to accept the Bazin Brothers bid; Skip Tefft seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously in favor.
Vice Chair Craig Hammer raised concerns that invasive knotweed could be in the rock being crushed and urged caution before using the material. The motion recorded in the minutes ratifies the contractor selection; any material-quality or invasive-plant mitigation measures were not specified in the minutes and may be handled administratively by the highway department.
