Select Board conditionally approves purchase of 100 folding chairs and storage dollies for town hall
Summary
The board reviewed vendor quotes for 100 folding chairs and two storage dollies to replace aging wooden seats, discussed weight ratings and warranties, and approved the purchase conditionally—pending confirmation of a minimum weight rating (recommended 350 lb) and final invoice/pricing (government account may change price).
Amber presented options to replace the town-hall seating and vertical storage dollies; the board compared vendor quotes, freight and weight-capacity ratings, and discussed procurement timing relative to available repair funds. The board moved to conditionally approve purchase of 100 NPS series folding chairs and two dollies for an estimated $4,775, with the condition that the chairs meet a minimum 350-pound weight rating and that final price/inventory be confirmed under the town’s government purchasing account.
Board members discussed reusing some historic wooden chairs and offering them to the historical society. Staff were instructed to confirm weight ratings and any state-contract pricing, secure the invoice, and proceed with the order when those conditions are met.
