Selectboard awards paving contract to Fuller after low bid of $89 per ton
Summary
The Tinmouth Selectboard opened three paving bids and approved awarding the project to Fuller, the low bidder, after staff compared unit and shouldering prices. Fuller's submitted total was read into the record and the motion to award passed by voice vote.
The Tinmouth Selectboard opened three bids for the town's paving work and approved awarding the contract to Fuller after members compared per‑ton rates and shouldering costs.
During the bid opening, Fuller's representative reported a unit price of $89 per ton and a shouldering lump sum; the board discussed unit and shoulder pricing from the other bidders before a member moved to award to Fuller. The motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote.
Board members discussed how paving budget balances have been used in prior years and noted the town's practice of rolling highway money into broader funds near year end. The board also agreed to verify that an earlier, lower bid from another vendor--dated before a May 1 price increase--would still be honored before any change in award.
What happens next: the selectboard will secure a photocopy of the winning bid and confirm bid validity with vendors and the engineer before executing the contract.
