Engineering firm Aldrich + Elliott briefs Montgomery Selectboard on wastewater ESA transition
Summary
Jason Booth of Aldrich + Elliott introduced his firm and discussed how a transition to a new engineering services agreement (ESA) would work to carry the municipal wastewater project through bidding and construction phases; the board discussed negotiation confidentiality and did not enter executive session.
Jason Booth of Aldrich + Elliott introduced the firm and described services they provide to support municipal projects. Selectboard members discussed why the town is soliciting a new engineering services agreement (ESA) for the municipal wastewater project and what a transition between firms would involve.
The meeting agenda flagged the possibility of entering executive session because "public disclosure of negotiations between firms and the Town regarding the contract could place the Town at a substantial disadvantage," citing 1 V.S.A. § 313(a)(1)(A). After discussion with Booth, the Selectboard elected not to enter executive session at this meeting and no ESA contract was approved or executed.
