Select Board approves up to $65,260 for Townsend Dam Road reclaiming and paving
Summary
After reviewing competitive bids for Townsend Dam Road, the board approved a motion to accept the low reclaiming and paving quote with a not‑to‑exceed total of $65,260 (reclaiming $9,750; paving $55,510). Members directed staff to finalize contract terms and avoid price escalation issues.
The board reviewed multiple bids for reclaiming and repaving the Townsend Dam Road. One member moved to approve the low bid proposal with limits not to exceed $9,750 for the reclaiming work and $55,510 for paving, for a combined not‑to‑exceed total of $65,260; that motion was seconded and adopted by voice vote.
Members discussed past experience where work was delayed and the paving price rose before completion; the board directed staff to secure contract terms and timelines so bidders are obligated to the quoted prices if awarded. The motion authorizes staff to enter contract negotiations and finalize a fixed‑price agreement for the specified work on Townsend Dam Road.
