Selectboard agrees to pay $445,358 invoice for Boy Scout Road culvert with 5% retained
Summary
The Eden Selectboard authorized payment of a $445,358.00 contractor invoice for the Boy Scout Road box culvert, holding back 5% until remaining spring work is finished after engineer and contractor confirmed materials met town road standards.
The Eden Selectboard authorized payment of a contractor invoice for $445,358.00 for work on the Boy Scout Road box culvert, with 5% of the amount withheld until additional work is completed next spring. The board recorded that an on-site meeting with the engineer and the construction company clarified questions about materials and confirmed that Town of Eden road standards had been followed.
Chair Tim Bullard moved to pay the invoice with a 5% retainage; Clayton Whittemore seconded and the motion carried. The minutes state that “there is some additional work that needs to take place next spring before the job is completed,” and the retainage is intended to ensure that remaining items are finished to the town’s satisfaction.
The board did not record further contract details, such as the contractor name, payment schedule, or final completion date. The Selectboard will revisit outstanding items during the spring follow-up on the project.
