Highway foreman outlines spring contracting: excavator rental, mowing and sand bids, paving grant planned
Summary
Highway Foreman Shane Heath reported road grading, proposed renting an excavator at $18.75/hour (estimated $3,000 total from budget), said mowing and sand bids will be advertised (opening in April and May respectively), and indicated he will apply for a paving grant for Underpass Road.
Highway Foreman Shane Heath told the Select Board the department has completed grading and is arranging for spring work. He reported receiving excavator rental quotes and said he will rent an excavator for a total of 160 hours at the lowest rate quoted ($18.75 per hour) and estimated the total rental cost at approximately $3,000; he said the expenditure is within the current budget.
Shane told the board the town will advertise roadside mowing bids to be opened at the April meeting and will advertise sand bids in early May to be opened at the May meeting. He also said he plans to apply for a paving grant to repave Underpass Road from the bottom near the cabin to Evans Road. These procurement steps set timing for spring operations but do not bind the board to contract awards until bids are opened and further action is recorded.
