Replacing stairs and ramp removed from base bid; to be considered as add alternates
Summary
Contractors and the architect removed replacement of existing exterior stairs and ramp from the base bid for the Town Clerk’s Office addition; the work will instead be listed as an add alternate in bid documents for later consideration.
The minutes record that replacing the existing exterior stairs and accessible ramp has been taken out of the current bid scope. Contractors indicated the item will be included as an add alternate instead of the base contract, meaning bidders will price it separately for the Selectboard to consider later.
No decision was recorded to accept or reject the stairs/ramp replacement; the minutes indicate the change in scope was a bid-document decision and not a construction contract award. The Selectboard will receive the add-alternate pricing as part of procurement and decide whether to fund or award the additional work.
