Board approves $29,900 for culvert engineering on Nadine Road and Donna Drive
Summary
At a public hearing the Pembroke select board approved a $29,900 withdrawal from the Roadway and Infrastructure Capital Reserve Fund to hire KB Partners LLC for engineering work to replace three deteriorated culverts, with construction oversight to be contracted separately.
The Pembroke Board of Selectmen voted unanimously June 3 to withdraw $29,900 from the Roadway and Infrastructure Capital Reserve Fund to pay KB Partners LLC for engineering services to replace culverts on Nadine Road and Donna Drive. Chair (speaker 1) opened a public hearing and read a May 15 proposal describing survey and base mapping, hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, permitting, final plans, specifications and bidding assistance, with a 14‑week schedule from notice to proceed.
Board members asked whether construction oversight was included in the $29,900. Agency staff (speaker 4) said construction oversight would be provided by KB Partners but it is not included in the quoted $29,900 and would be an additional fee. The chair moved to approve the withdrawal; the motion was seconded and passed without opposition.
The engineer’s submission was presented as a $29,900 lump sum. The transcript also records line‑item figures that appear inconsistent with that total (the record lists line items as $10,005,700 for the survey, $7,000 for preliminary design and $12,200 for final design); the board did not resolve the apparent discrepancy during the meeting. The board asked staff to follow procurement steps, notify abutters after the bid and to return with any necessary contracting details before construction oversight work proceeds.
