Board updates on roads, engineering RFPs and crosswalk at Dodge's store
Summary
Select Board members reported outreach to engineering firms to prepare an RFP for town engineering services, discussed a sidewalk and crosswalk project contingent on utility relocation, and approved stop/yield sign adjustments at local intersections.
During the Select Board report, members described outreach to engineering firms to solicit bids and prepare a clear RFP for town engineering services related to road projects. Jeff reported he had "started calling today different...engineering firms" to obtain quotes and emphasized the need for an RFP that outlines the scope so important details are not missed.
The board also discussed the South Branch footbridge dimensions and a crosswalk at Dodge's store; they noted that Consolidated (telecom) must move lines before the flashing light and sidewalk work can proceed. The chair authorized the highway agent to install a stop sign at Laurel Lane and swap a yield sign for a stop at Christie and Ruby; the board asked staff to push the RFP forward because winter conditions will complicate construction schedules.
