Selectboard moves standardized RFPs to town attorney; revisits $5,000 purchase threshold
Summary
The Selectboard voted to forward standardized RFP and bid documents to the town attorney for review and discussed revisiting the $5,000 spending cap established in 2010; the Road Commissioner was added as an approved purchasing agent pending final policy execution.
Selectboard member Pat Treckman moved to forward standardized procurement documents prepared with Mary Catherine Graziano to the town attorney for legal review; the motion passed unanimously. The move is intended to formalize bidding templates and ensure the town adheres to state-driven accounting standards for purchases exceeding the voter-approved $5,000 threshold.
The board reviewed language to streamline small-material purchases, added the Road Commissioner to the list of approved purchasing agents, and scheduled a final review of the purchasing policy at a special meeting on April 30. Members noted the $5,000 cap dates to 2010 and suggested it could be revisited by article and a resident vote if the board wishes to change it.
