Wilbur council moves forward with current pool bid after MRSC guidance; Davenport Pool to provide lifeguard training
Summary
Council decided to proceed with the current pool procurement after MRSC advised that the work is a purchased service, not a public‑works contract; Davenport Pool can supply a lifeguard certification instructor for new and recertification training.
Clerk/Treasurer Melissa Bulger told the council that MRSC advised the town it is not required to run a public‑works bid process for the pool work because the contract qualifies as a purchased service. The council decided to move forward with the current bid; Bulger said she had tried to obtain a bid from WMS Aquatics but had not received a response.
Bulger also reported that Davenport Pool has a lifeguard certification instructor available to train new lifeguards and to provide recertification for incumbent staff. The council did not require additional competitive bids based on MRSC's guidance, and no formal contract award was recorded at the March 17 meeting.
