Wells Select Board approves warrants and accepts several public‑works bids totaling bids of note
Summary
Board approved warrants totaling more than $1.3 million and accepted three procurement bids: a ~$89,540 retaining‑wall contract, a $119,500 truck chassis, and a $39,682.85 sand/salt spreader; all motions passed on recorded votes.
On Aug. 1 the Wells Select Board approved multiple warrants and accepted several bids for public‑works projects and equipment.
Finance and administrative motions: the board approved a warrant dated 08/04/2026 in the amount of $1,364,704.94; two advanced check warrants (07/22/2026 for $33,014.04 and 07/29/2026 for $39,838.19); and a general assistance warrant dated 08/04/2026 for $11,080.11. The board voted to approve and sign these warrants during the meeting.
Procurement motions and votes: the board accepted a bid from US Site Solutions for a concrete retaining wall repair at the transfer station in the amount of $89,540; the motion to accept the bid was moved and seconded and recorded as approved. The board also accepted a single‑axle truck cab/chassis bid from Allegiance Trucks for $119,500 to replace a 2019 unit (the stainless‑steel body and final upfit to come in a separate procurement). Finally, the board accepted a sand/salt spreader bid from Allied Equipment LLC for $39,682.85, with lead time noted at 170 days and expected December delivery.
In each case, staff explained operational rationales (fleet replacement, spare equipment, extended useful life of an existing truck) and the board recorded votes to approve contracts. The retaining wall and equipment approvals were presented as part of routine capital and maintenance planning; specific funding lines and contract documents were made part of the town record.
The meeting minutes record the motions, seconders and unanimous or recorded tallies for each of these items.
