Selectboard sends town mowing contract back to bid under purchasing policy
Summary
Because past annual payments exceeded the $15,000 purchasing threshold, the Selectboard directed staff to rebid the 2026–28 town mowing contract rather than renew the existing agreement.
The board discussed the upcoming multi-year mowing contract and determined that, because the amount paid annually under the previous agreement exceeded $15,000, the procurement must be rebid in accordance with the town’s purchasing policy. The board directed staff to issue a new bid for the 2026–28 mowing contract rather than renew the prior contractor under the existing terms.
No dollar amount for the new contract was recorded in the minutes and no vendor names were specified; the decision was procedural and aligns with town purchasing thresholds to ensure competitive procurement.
