Summary

The Selectboard rejected a single $16,900 bid from C&E Painting & Coatings to paint the back side of the Newbury Center Town House, citing cost and scope questions, and directed staff to consult Charlie Mabey before re-posting a reduced-scope request for proposals.

The Board received one bid from C&E Painting & Coatings for $16,900 to paint the back side of the Newbury Center Town House. Noting that the bid exceeds the project budget and that further questions about scope remain, the Selectboard rejected the bid (motion by Susan Culp, seconded by Andrew Lee) and agreed to consult with Charlie Mabey before re-posting a scaled-back RFP.

The minutes indicate the board intends to narrow the scope of work before inviting new bids. No contract was awarded; the Town will seek additional proposals after clarifying the project scope and budget. (Provenance: SEG 011)
