Selectboard approves ventilation and dehumidification contract for town garage
Summary
The Braintree selectboard approved a bid for ventilation and dehumidification work at the town garage, subject to reasonable timelines; members said doing both measures while grant funds are available minimizes net cost to the town.
The Braintree selectboard voted to accept a contractor bid for ventilation and dehumidification at the town garage, with members requiring reasonable completion timelines before finalizing the contract. Chair said the town’s work must fit grant deadlines and moved to approve the systems for installation "subject to reasonable timelines."
Select board member who led the bid discussion said the quoted price covers the ventilation and dehumidification equipment but does not include electrical work, which they estimate at about $5,000, and that phasing both measures while grant funds remain would be most efficient. The board approved the motion by voice vote after members agreed to secure a reasonable schedule. "So that's the story on all that," the Select board member summarized when presenting the recommendation.
