Chair moves to award prework contract to Griffin; motion approved
Summary
At a special meeting, the Chair moved and participants approved awarding a prework contract to Griffin after reviewing three bids; the group noted Griffin is a preferred contractor and Hager's bid was substantially higher.
At a special meeting called early in the morning, the Chair moved to award the prework contract to Griffin and participants approved the motion with three recorded 'aye' votes.
The Chair recapped the three bids and their totals: Danforth Enterprises ($158,400), Griffin ($160,000) and Hager (reported as $1,966,800). The Chair said Hager appeared to be out of consideration because its figure was far higher than the others. The Chair moved the Griffin selection, saying, "Proposal that, we go with, Griffin." A member seconded the motion and the Chair called the vote; the transcript records three 'aye' responses and the motion was approved.
Supporters noted Griffin's local experience and past work. One participant said the town had "had successful projects with them," and the Chair cited Griffin as a preferred contractor familiar with the area. Participants did not record an alternative formal protest or request for rebid during the meeting.
Next steps recorded in the meeting were administrative: assigning someone to take notes and moving on to the paving proposals. The transcript does not specify a contract start date, contracting department, or the bidder selection documentation; those details were not provided in the record.
