Committee recommends Upper Valley Trails Alliance for All Persons Trail contract, contingent on references
Summary
The Tucker Management Committee reviewed three bids for the All Persons Trail and recommended awarding the contract to the Upper Valley Trails Alliance (UVTA) — the lowest bidder at $68,188 — contingent on receipt of positive references.
The committee reviewed bids to build the All Persons Trail and moved to recommend the Upper Valley Trails Alliance (UVTA) for the contract after comparing three proposals. Bid amounts recorded in the minutes were: Upper Valley Trails Alliance $68,188, Hermit Woods $104,400, and Peter Jensen $109,455. Committee members noted differences in materials and labor assumptions among the proposals.
Committee members discussed how UVTA’s nonprofit status contributes to lower labor costs through the use of interns and volunteers alongside a salaried trail director, a point Tom Kidder relayed based on a prior conversation with UVTA. John moved and Steve Gale seconded the recommendation to award the contract to UVTA contingent on positive references; the motion was recorded as approved. Michael Thomas noted public-relations benefits from partnering with UVTA because of the group's ties to the Vermont Hub.
