Tinmouth board refines sand-and-salt-shed bid specs; flags stormwater and site-layout gaps
Summary
Board reviewed bid documents for proposed sand-and-salt sheds at the town garage, requested clearer site drawings and stormwater plans, and asked staff to obtain engineer input before issuing bids.
Select Board members spent the meeting reviewing draft bid specifications for proposed sand-and-salt sheds at the town garage, identifying several gaps the board wants filled before issuing the request for bids. A committee member said the town must "renew the stormwater permit for the town garage because it's been 5 years, and we have to have an engineer do that," and members asked staff to obtain more specific drainage sketches and a clearer layout of the proposed structure on the site.
Members discussed alternatives for siting and drainage, noting culvert placement and truck access as constraints. The board asked bidders to provide site-specific documentation (photos or sketches) and to clarify stormwater measures; members also agreed to require site visits for bidders and to reserve the right to reject or select bids that best serve the town's interests.
