Board reviews demolition plan for 2nd Street property, will advertise bids and await project manager
Summary
The board reviewed demolition estimates for a house on 2nd Street—including foundation removal, backfill, garage inspection and asbestos inspection—and agreed bids must be reissued with consistent scopes and the project manager will coordinate next steps.
Board members reported on plans and estimates to demolish the structure at 2nd Street. One board member said a general contractor who would manage the project could not visit the site until later in August; another independent demolition estimate included removal of the house, footings and foundation, backfill, possible garage inspection to decide whether to save it, and an asbestos inspection.
The board emphasized the need to advertise the work so multiple contractors can submit bids on the same scope; existing bids were inconsistent and the board asked staff to prepare a uniform request for proposals so they can compare estimates. Members agreed to forward collected information to the person who will manage the project and to have that manager consult with potential bidders once on site.
The town will decommission gas service and address well and septic as part of demolition responsibilities when contracts are finalized.
