Selectboard resists paying GVV invoice overage; planning group cites contract overrun
Summary
The Selectboard discussed GVV's final architectural invoice which exceeded the contracted 'do not exceed' amount; the planning group said GVV billed beyond the cap without prior discussion and the board favored holding GVV to the contracted price.
The Common School planning group reported that GVV’s final invoice exceeded the Town’s contracted "do not exceed" amount for architectural planning services. Committee members said GVV provided high‑quality work but billed beyond the agreed cap without prior discussion; the planning group said GVV "disregarded the contracted price." The Selectboard indicated it intends to stick with the contracted price to protect taxpayers' obligations.
No formal payment decision beyond that direction was recorded in the minutes; the board requested the matter be handled consistent with contract obligations and taxpayer protection.
