Summary

The board authorized SLR to provide construction‑phase oversight and administer the bid for Pierce Pond dam removal, approving an oversight contract priced at $40,027 and directing staff to proceed.

The board voted to authorize SLR to provide construction‑phase oversight for the Pierce Pond dam removal and related work. S9 read the motion: "Authorize SLR to proceed with the execution oversight to remove the Pierce Pond Dam in the amount of $40,027." S5 moved the motion; it was seconded and declared passed unanimously by voice vote.

Board members had earlier raised timing and scope questions, noting Sunco's schedule and that a shorter contractor schedule could reduce oversight fees. The motion authorizes SLR to execute oversight and to prepare the necessary bid documents for the cistern and dam removal phases; staff will return to the board with specific contract paperwork and invoice review procedures.
