Selectboard seeks grant amendments for Blakeville Bridge, signs $200,000 Boy Scout Road reimbursement papers and readies G-1 funds submission
Summary
The Selectboard applied for a second amendment to a structures grant for Blakeville Bridge #15 after a contractor delay, signed final reimbursement paperwork for a $200,000 Boy Scout Road structures grant, and authorized submission of remaining G-1 funds by the March 30, 2025 deadline.
The board updated several grant-related items at the Jan. 14 meeting. The town had applied for a structures grant to repair Blakeville Bridge #15; because contractors were reluctant due to the bridge’s perceived integrity, the town sought a scope change and extension to hire an engineer for a replacement plan. The town had signed a contract with Michie Corp but the contractor could not complete the work within the amended timeframe; the Selectboard has applied for a second amendment so the contractor can finish the work in 2025 while the town retains grant assistance.
The board also signed final reimbursement paperwork for a $200,000 Structures grant for Boy Scout Road and approved using remaining G-1 funds (deadline March 30, 2025) to cover the town’s share of the Boy Scout Camp box culvert completed in November 2024. The board authorized submission of a road-inventory grant to the LCPC; LCPC expects to begin surveying in spring 2025.
