Selectmen award $18,463 window-replacement contract for Town Hall with 10% contingency
Summary
The board awarded the Town Hall window replacement to A Best Windows at $18,463 with a contingency not to exceed 10%, citing warranty and three-week availability; the board approved the award unanimously.
Selectmen voted to award a contract to A Best Windows to replace 37 windows at Town Hall for a base price of $18,463 with a contingency provision capped at 10% to cover price adjustments.
Selectmen Ed Walsh and the Town Administrator reviewed the low bidder’s municipal references and materials sourcing. The contractor estimated a maximum three-week lead time for windows and provided warranties; Selectmen Walsh recommended including a 10% escalator to account for potential price changes. Selectmen Walsh moved to award the contract as quoted ‘‘at $18,463 plus or minus 10% (not to exceed 10%),’’ Selectmen Kimberly Stacey-Horn seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The board discussed other facility needs (siding, stairs) and asked staff to track further repairs. Road Commissioners and staff will coordinate on scheduling to minimize disruption in late October to early November when the work is expected to occur.
