Summary

Town staff reported a HSIP guardrail award covering $46,985 for 2,505 linear feet on Grafton Road (no local match) and a Municipal Highway Stormwater Mitigation grant of $48,000 (with $12,000 match) for an East Hill Road culvert scoping study; the board approved assigning Katie as project manager for the scoping study.

The grant coordinator told the board that the town was an awardee for the HSIP guardrail grant, applying for $46,985 to replace an existing cable‑and‑post guardrail with metal guardrail along 2,505 linear feet of Grafton Road. “We applied for $46,985 worth of guardrail along Grafton Road. That's 2,505 linear feet,” the coordinator said; the grant requires no local match.

She also reported an award under the Municipal Highway Stormwater Mitigation Program for an East Hill Road culvert scoping study: $48,000 with a $12,000 local match. The board voted to assign Katie as the project manager on the scoping study so the town can meet the program’s project management requirement and move forward with compliance items and RFPs. The coordinator noted she will follow state guidance and, if permitted by grant rules, may invoice hours into the grant as allowable.
