Committee urges RFP and replacement for Berry Road culvert within construction window
Summary
Committee members recommended preparing an RFP to replace the Berry Road culvert during the 2026 construction window and discussed aiming for completion by mid-October; some members cautioned against rushing additional awards if funding or schedules remain uncertain.
The committee discussed the deteriorated Berry Road culvert and whether to recommend its replacement in the current construction window. One member proposed a motion to replace the culvert in 2026 with a completion target of Oct. 15, 2026, and the group discussed whether to issue an RFP this month with a 60-day period for bids.
Members were split over whether to rush a new award given existing contracted work and budget uncertainty, but agreed to recommend preparing an RFP and to flag the item as a priority for inclusion in the upcoming work schedule. "I make a motion that I can add the Barrie Road public would be replaced within this construction window of 2026 before October 15," a committee member stated on the record; the recommendation will be forwarded to the town manager and select board for action.
