Selectboard includes late Bread Loaf proposal, delays decision on fire-station feasibility study
Summary
The Winhall Selectboard reviewed four Phase I RFP proposals for a fire-station feasibility study, agreed to consider a late Bread Loaf submission and voted to postpone choosing a firm to allow more review and follow-up meetings with proposers.
The Winhall Selectboard reviewed four Phase I proposals for a fire-station feasibility study and agreed to include a late submission from Bread Loaf Corporation for consideration. The proposals named in the record were Goldstone Architecture, Northeast Collaborative/Bread Loaf, and Cotton-Belaski Architectural Services.
Scott Bushee told the board the town had received four proposals and summarized their timing and qualifications. Dave Cotton, representing Cotton-Belaski Architectural Services, spoke about "schematic designs, bonds, and more time for review," and urged additional time for evaluation. After discussion the board agreed to allow Bread Loaf's late proposal to be considered and then moved to postpone a final decision on which firm to hire so members could review the materials further and meet with company representatives.
The board's action leaves the procurement process open for follow-up: staff will schedule additional review and meetings before the Selectboard returns to the vendor-selection question. No final contract award or firm hire was recorded in the minutes for this meeting.
