Oaks House plans finalized; council aims to issue bid documents next meeting
Summary
Council members said architects completed Oaks House plans and will prepare a bid form designed to allow phased construction by alternates; the borough engineer will review the bid documents and the council hopes to solicit bids at the next meeting.
Council members reported that architectural plans for the Oaks House affordable‑housing project are complete and that the architect will draft a bid document that breaks work into phases and alternates so the project can be staged by budget availability. The recommended phasing would allow initial work (foundation and making the building weather‑tight) to proceed first and interior finishes to be addressed as funding permits.
Council asked the town engineer to review the bid form and to prepare inspection and bidding requirements; staff said they expect to circulate the bid package and advertise for bidders with the aim of releasing it at the next meeting. No final bidder selection or contract award occurred at this meeting.
