Select board accepts $534,000 bridge bid from Mike Bean
Summary
The board reviewed two contractor proposals for a bridge replacement and voted to accept Mike Bean’s bid (base bridge $485,000 plus temporary bridge $49,000, total $534,000); Starrett Snow presented higher options of $1.75–$2.0 million.
The Select Board reviewed multiple bids for a required bridge replacement and voted 2-0 to accept a Mike Bean proposal totaling $534,000 that includes a temporary bridge component.
Michelle (S5) presented contractor bids. She said a Starrett Snow proposal included two options — one with temporary bridge access and full construction priced at $2,000,000 and a second option without a temporary bridge priced at $1,750,000. Mike Bean’s proposal listed a base bridge for $485,000 and a temporary‑bridge option of $49,000 for a combined bid of $534,000. After brief discussion about reserves (S5 said $561,000 was available in the bridge reserve account), a motion to accept the Mike Bean bid carried unanimously 2-0.
Board members noted the need to coordinate temporary access and landowner approvals for any temporary bridge work and directed staff to confirm scheduling and permit requirements with the contractor.
