Summary
The board approved two MSK Engineering contracts: roughly $9,725 for a new well engineering and $134,500 for Project 1B engineering. Staff said four firms were interviewed during the qualifications stage and future construction will be bid through the town.
The Woodstock Select Board approved two engineering contracts with MSK Engineering on May 5 to advance water system improvements: an approximately $9,725 contract for engineering on a new well and a $134,500 contract for Project 1B.
Municipal Manager Eric Duffy told the board the two MSK quotes came in below earlier estimates and that staff (Abby Sherman and Stephanie) had met the firm to address questions. Public commenters pressed the board on procurement and the number of firms involved; staff said the town used a qualifications‑based selection and that four firms were interviewed during the qualifications stage.
Board discussion covered how construction bidding will proceed once the engineering design is complete and how grants and bonding could affect total project cost. The board voted to approve the MSK contracts as presented.
