Selectboard awards 2026 paving contract to Whitcomb; Whitcomb bid $7,611 lower than Pike
Summary
The Selectboard accepted Whitcomb as the low bidder for Fairfield’s 2026 paving after staff reported Whitcomb's bid was $0.46 per ton lower and $7,611 less overall than Pike; the motion passed unanimously.
Cathy Ainsworth told the Selectboard that the two lowest bids for the 2026 paving contract were close: Whitcomb's bid was $0.46 per ton lower and $7,611 less in total than the Pike Industries bid. David Davio of Pike Industries suggested the town provide expected total tonnage to bidders next year to improve bid accuracy.
David Persons moved to accept Whitcomb as the low bidder for the town’s 2026 paving work; Damian Branon seconded and the motion carried with all members in favor. The board did not detail total contract value in the minutes; staff follow-up was suggested to refine bid specifications for future solicitations.
