Selectboard authorizes RFP for solar panels on Town Hall
Summary
The Manchester Selectboard unanimously authorized an RFP to pursue a solar-panel project on Town Hall, directing Gordon Black to prepare the solicitation after a resident presented quotes and urged use of remaining MERP funds.
The Manchester Selectboard voted unanimously on May 5 to authorize an RFP for a solar-panel project on Town Hall. Board member Jonathan West moved to authorize Gordon Black to prepare the RFP; the motion was seconded by Laurie Kunz and passed 5-0.
Resident Carl Bucholt, during public comment, said he had gathered solar-panel quotes and encouraged the board to use the remainder of MERP funds to advance a project. The minutes state the board determined the next administrative step would be the creation and posting of an RFP; the minutes do not define MERP or specify the remaining fund amount.
The authorization instructs town staff (via Gordon Black) to draft and post the solicitation so vendors may submit proposals. No procurement timeline or funding breakdown was recorded in the minutes. The Selectboard did not take additional formal steps beyond authorizing the RFP at this meeting.
