Select Board authorizes solicitation of winter road maintenance bids
Summary
The Select Board voted to authorize the town administrator to solicit bids for winter road maintenance after one contractor declined to continue; revised route boundaries and a May 6 bid return date were discussed.
The Select Board on April 14 authorized the town administrator to solicit bids to replace the town's three‑year winter road maintenance contract after one current contractor signaled he would not continue. Town Administrator (speaking as the meeting staff member) said the administration had redrawn routes — currently labeled B, C, D and E — and would relabel them for the solicitation. "So we're completing our 3 year contract that we're currently on," the Town Administrator said, explaining the need to reassign mileage among contractors.
Board members discussed the revised mileages and confirmed the solicitation schedule, with members agreeing a bid return date near May 6 would give the board time to review offers after town meeting. A motion to post the solicitations and accept open bids passed without recorded opposition. The board did not set specific contract awards at the meeting; staff will update the solicitation documents and return recommended awards for board review once bids are received.
