Select Board approves $1.92 million contract for Jordan Pond Road sewer replacement
Summary
The board approved a contract with Ranger Construction not to exceed $1,922,613 to replace sewer lines on Jordan Pond Road; staff said the low bid reflected nearby work and the project may proceed as soon as winter.
The Select Board approved a contract with Ranger Construction in an amount not to exceed $1,922,613 for sewer replacement along Jordan Pond Road. Staff reported they solicited three bids and the low bidder—Ranger Construction—was working nearby in Bar Harbor, which helped produce a lower price. The item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Board members asked about scope and timing. Staff said the work covers the length of Jordan Pond Road starting at the intersection described in the transcript (referred to as 'Confucian Corner') and running down to Wetlands Way; the upper line will be abandoned and properties tied into the new main. Ranger prefers winter work but timing will depend on the contractor's schedule and outreach to residents is planned. Staff emphasized the project represents substantial savings compared with higher estimates and will be brought back if further contract adjustments are needed.
